37 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman numerals. Earlier people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. When life became complex, a standard form was required to count. Ancient Romans used the Roman numeral system to count. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols we use to count.

In Roman numerals, we use XXXVII to represent 37, where XXX is 30, V is 5, and II is 2. 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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, XXXVII → XXX + V + II → 30 + 5 + 2 = 37.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. XXX → 30 (X repeated three times).

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number is followed by a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9.

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, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 37 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 37 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 37 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: tens and ones.

For 37, we write it as 30 + 7.

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman numerals.

30 in Roman numerals — XXX

7 in Roman numerals — VII

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together.

Therefore, 37 in Roman numerals is XXX (30) + VII (7) = XXXVII.

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

To write 37 in Roman numerals, we group 37 as 30 + 7.

30 in Roman numerals — XXX

7 in Roman numerals — VII

So, 37 is written as XXXVII 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 37.

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a larger number is followed by a smaller numeral, and the values are added. For example, XXXVII = XXX + VII = 30 + 7 = 37.
   
• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value, then each group is converted into its Roman numerals. For example, 37 = 30 + 7 = XXXVII.
   
• 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).
   
• Subtraction method: When a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, it is subtracted. For example, IX = 10 - 1 = 9.
   
• Limitation rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated, and symbols can only be repeated up to three times.
