174 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and others, often include Roman numerals. These symbols (I and II) represent numbers. Ancient people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc.

As life became more complex, a standardized counting system was needed. The Romans developed the Roman Numeral system. The symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are used in this system.

In Roman Numerals, we use CLXXIV to represent 174. Here, C is 100, L is 50, XX is 20, and IV is 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

There are certain basic rules to write a number in Roman numerals. In this section, 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 the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, CLXXIV → C + L + X + X + IV → 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 174.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, XX → 20 (X is repeated twice).

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

The symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X. Similarly, 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 174 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method
   

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 174 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are hundreds, tens, ones, etc.

For 174, we write it as 100 + 50 + 20 + 4.

Step 2: Convert each number into Roman numerals.

   100 in Roman Numeral — C
   50 in Roman Numeral — L
   20 in Roman Numeral — XX
   4 in Roman Numeral — IV

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together.

Therefore, 174 in Roman numerals is C (100) + L (50) + XX (20) + IV (4) = CLXXIV.

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. 

To write 174 in Roman numerals, we group 174 as 100 + 50 + 20 + 4.

   100 in Roman Numeral — C
   50 in Roman Numeral — L
   20 in Roman Numeral — XX
   4 in Roman Numeral — IV

So, 174 is written as CLXXIV in Roman numerals.

Roman numerals follow a certain pattern, making them look similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 174.

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger numeral is followed by a smaller numeral, here the values are added. For example, CLXXIV = C + L + XX + IV = 100 + 50 + 20 + 4 = 174.

• Grouping Method: Numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 174 = 100 + 50 + 20 + 4 = CLXXIV.

• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, XXX = 30 (X is repeated three times to represent the number 30).

• Subtraction Rule: If a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the larger numeral. For example, IV = V - I = 5 - 1 = 4.

• Place Value: In the expansion method, numbers are broken down based on their place value for conversion into Roman numerals. For example, 174 = 100 (hundreds) + 50 (tens) + 20 (tens) + 4 (ones).
