The ancient way of writing numbers is roman numerals. Today, we still see numerals in clocks and movie sequels. Here, we focus on the Roman numeral of 108.

What is CVIII in Roman Numerals

Roman numerals use alphabets to represent each number. The roman numeral 108 is CVIII, where C is 100 and VIII is 8.

Basic rules for 108 in Roman Numeral

  • Addition Method

The values get added when the smaller number follows the larger number.

Example: L (50) + I (1) = LI (51)

Therefore, 108 in roman numeral is expressed as C (100) + VIII (8) = CVIII (108)

 

  • Repetition Method

 

The repetition method won’t allow the letter to be repeated more than three times.  For example, we can write the roman numeral I repeatedly for 10 times to denote the number 10. For 108, we write a CVIII. Where C means 100 and VIII is 8

 

  • Subtraction Method

 

The smaller value is subtracted from the larger number. Example:  5-1 = V - I = IV (4). The number ‘1’ comes after ‘5’ so that I is subtracted from V to get IV (4).

 

  • Limitation Rule

 

The roman numerals cannot be repeated more than three times. For example, instead of writing ‘IIIIIII’, we write VIII for 8, where V is 5 and III is 3.
