820 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are a way of expressing numbers using symbols. I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are the symbols we use. Roman Numerals are used in royal titles, book names, sequences, and more. Here we will be discussing Roman Numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 820 in Roman Numerals?

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed these symbols (I and II) and wondered what they represent? Those are Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became more complex, a standard form was needed, so the ancient Romans developed the Roman Numeral system. We use I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) as symbols to count.

 

In Roman Numerals, we use DCCCXX to represent 820, where D is 500, CCC is 300, and XX is 20. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 820 in Roman Numerals

Certain basic rules apply when writing a number in Roman Numerals. Let's discuss some rules that are important to remember:

 

Rule 1: Addition Method

The addition method is used when the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, DCCCXX → D + CCC + XX → 500 + 300 + 20 = 820

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For instance, III → 3.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number, you subtract the smaller from the larger. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9

 

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we write 10 as X, not VV, and 8 as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 820 in Roman Numerals

Let’s learn how to write 820 in Roman Numerals using different methods.

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method

820 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on place value, the number is broken down. Here's how to write 820 in Roman numerals using this method:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, ones. For 820, it's 800 + 20.

 

Step 2: Convert these numbers into Roman Numerals: 

  • 800 = DCCC (500 + 300) 
     
  • 20 = XX

 

Step 3: Combine them: DCCC + XX = DCCCXX.

820 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing large numbers into Roman Numerals, we group the numbers. To write 820 in Roman Numerals, group 820 as 800 + 20.

 

  • 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
     
  • 20 in Roman Numerals - XX

 

Therefore, 820 is written as DCCCXX in Roman Numerals.
