925 in Roman Numerals

Have you ever seen royal titles like Henry VIII, and wondered what these symbols (VIII) represented? They are Roman numerals. Ancient Romans created this system to count when life became more complex. The symbols used are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). In Roman numerals, we use CMXXV to represent 925, where CM is 900, XX is 20, and V is 5.

Let's learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

There are certain basic rules to write numbers in Roman numerals. Let's discuss some basic rules that need to be remembered when writing a number in Roman numerals.

Rule 1: Addition Method

The addition method is used when a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number, it's the subtraction method. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4

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 don't write VV for 10; instead, we use X.

Let’s now learn how to write 925 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals:

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, a number is broken down based on its place value. Let's learn how to write 925 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 925 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 925, we write it as 900 + 20 + 5

Step 2: Convert each part into Roman numerals:

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM
   
• 20 in Roman numerals - XX
   
• 5 in Roman numerals - V

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together: Therefore, 925 in Roman numerals is CM (900) + XX (20) + V (5) = CMXXV

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 925 in Roman numerals, group 925 as 900 + 20 + 5

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM
   
• 20 in Roman numerals - XX
   
• 5 in Roman numerals - V

So, 925 is written as CMXXV in Roman numerals.

Roman numerals follow specific patterns, making them similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 925.

• Subtraction method: Used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, subtracting the smaller value. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.

• Addition method: Used when a smaller numeral follows a larger numeral, adding the values. For example, XV = X + V = 10 + 5 = 15.

• Grouping method: Numbers are grouped based on their place value and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 925 = 900 + 20 + 5 = CMXXV.

• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) can be repeated up to three times. For example, XXX = 30.

• Limitation rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated within Roman numerals.
