1004 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are a way of expressing numbers using symbols. I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are the symbols we use. Roman Numerals are used in royal titles, book names, sequences, and so on. Here we will be discussing Roman Numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 1004 in Roman Numerals?

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman Numerals. Earlier people used to count 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 MIV to represent 1004, where M is 1000 and IV is 4.

Basic Rules for 1004 in Roman Numerals

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, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6.

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated three times. III → 3.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number is followed by 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, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 1004 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 1004 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

1004 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 1004 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 1004 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: The number is broken down based on the place value—ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 1004, we write it as 1000 + 4.

 

Step 2: Converting the numbers into Roman Numerals

  • 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
     
  • 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

 

Step 3: Combining the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 1004 in Roman Numerals is M (1000) + IV (4) = MIV.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

1004 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 1004 in Roman Numerals, we group 1004 as 1000 + 4.

  • 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
     
  • 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 1004 is written as MIV in Roman Numerals.

1004 in Roman Numerals Examples

Ray, the Character from BrightChamps Explaining Math Concepts
Max, the Girl Character from BrightChamps

Problem 1

A historian is transcribing an ancient manuscript dated to the year MIV. If this manuscript was written 150 years after another document, in what year was the earlier document written?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The earlier document was written in the year DCCCLIV.

Explanation

To find the year of the earlier document, subtract 150 from 1004. 1004 - 150 = 854. 854 in Roman Numerals is DCCCLIV.

Problem 2

A library has a collection of MIV rare books, and they decide to distribute these equally among X librarians. How many books will each librarian receive?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each librarian will receive CI books.

Explanation

The number of books each librarian receives is the total number of books divided by the number of librarians.

MIV = 1004

X = 10

1004 / 10 = 100.4, rounded down to the nearest whole number, each librarian receives 100 books.

Therefore, the Roman numeral for 100 is CI.

Problem 3

An ancient artifact is inscribed with the numbers DCC and CCIV. What is the sum of these numbers in Roman numerals?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The sum of DCC and CCIV is MIV.

Explanation

To find the sum, add the two numbers together:

DCC = 700

CCIV = 204

700 + 204 = 904

904 in Roman Numerals is CMIV.

Problem 4

A researcher finds that a historical event occurred X years after the year DCCCXCIV. In what year did the event occur?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The event occurred in the year CMIV.

Explanation

Add 10 to 894 to find the year of the event.

DCCCXCIV = 894

X = 10

894 + 10 = 904

904 in Roman Numerals is CMIV.

Problem 5

Write the Roman Numeral for 1004 + 50 using the expansion method.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The Roman numeral for 1004 + 50 is MLIV.

Explanation

Step 1: Convert the numbers 1004 and 50 into Roman numerals: 1004 - MIV 50 - L Add the numbers together: 1004 + 50 = 1054 Using the expansion method: 1054 = 1000 + 50 + 4 = MLIV.
