702 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, etc., often use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols represent? Those are Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people used fingers, sticks, and bones for counting.

As life became more complex, a standardized form was required, leading to the Roman Numeral system. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used. In Roman Numerals, we use DCCII to represent 702, where D is 500, C is 100, and I is 1.

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, DCCII → D + C + C + I + I → 500 + 100 + 100 + 1 + 1 = 702

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, some Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number is followed by a larger number, we subtract the smaller number. 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 won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X.

Let’s now learn how to write 702 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 702 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 702 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps,

Step 1: Break the number based on place value, such as hundreds, tens, and ones. For 702, we write it as 500 + 100 + 100 + 1 + 1

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman Numerals

• 500 in Roman Numerals - D
   
• 100 in Roman Numerals - C
   
• 1 in Roman Numerals - I

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 702 in Roman Numerals is D (500) + C (100) + C (100) + I (1) + I (1) = DCCII

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 702 in Roman Numerals, we group 702 as 500 + 100 + 100 + 1 + 1

• 500 in Roman Numerals - D
   
• 100 in Roman Numerals - C
   
• 1 in Roman Numerals - I

So, 702 is written as DCCII in Roman Numerals.

Roman Numerals follow a pattern that makes them appear similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 702. 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, DCCII = D + C + C + I + I = 500 + 100 + 100 + 1 + 1 = 702.
   
• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 702 = 500 + 100 + 100 + 1 + 1 = DCCII.
   
• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times to represent the number 300).
   
• Subtraction rule: When a smaller numeral is placed before a larger one, the smaller is subtracted from the larger. For example, IV = 4 (V - I).
   
• Symbols: The basic symbols used in Roman Numerals are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000).
