898 in Roman Numerals

Have you ever come across royal titles or clock faces and wondered about those symbols like VIII or IX? Those are Roman Numerals. Ancient Romans developed this system to count and represent numbers using specific symbols: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000).

To represent 898 in Roman Numerals, we use DCCCXCVIII, where D is 500, CCC is 300, XC is 90, and VIII is 8. 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, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times to form numbers. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number is placed before a larger number, it is subtracted. For example, XC → X - C → 100 - 10 = 90.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and specific symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, instead of writing VVV for 15, we write XV.

Let’s now learn how to write 898 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 898 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 898 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. The place values are hundreds, tens, and ones. For 898, we write it as 800 + 90 + 8

Step 2: Convert each number into Roman Numerals

• 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
   
• 90 in Roman Numerals - XC
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals - VIII

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 898 in Roman Numerals is DCCC (800) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = DCCCXCVIII

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 898 in Roman Numerals, we group it as 800 + 90 + 8

• 800 in Roman Numeral - DCCC
   
• 90 in Roman Numeral - XC
   
• 8 in Roman Numeral - VIII

So, 898 is written as DCCCXCVIII 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 898. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger numeral is followed by a smaller numeral; the values are added. For example, VIII = V + III = 5 + 3 = 8.
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given number is grouped based on place value and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 898 = 800 + 90 + 8 = DCCCXCVIII.
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times).
   
• Subtraction Rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one. For example, XC = 100 - 10 = 90.
   
• Place Value: The numerical value that a digit has by virtue of its position in a number. In Roman numerals, this determines the grouping and conversion into symbols.
