1051 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are the 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 1051 in Roman Numerals?

The royal titles, such as Henry I and Henry II, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed these 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. As life became more 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 MLI to represent 1051. Here, M is 1000, L is 50, and I is 1.

Basic Rules for 1051 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, MLI → M + L + I → 1000 + 50 + 1 = 1051

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.

 

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.

How to Write 1051 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 1051 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

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

1051 in Roman Numeral 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 1051 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 1051 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 1051, we write it as 1000 + 50 + 1

 

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

  • 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
     
  • 50 in Roman Numerals - L
     
  • 1 in Roman Numerals - I

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 1051 in Roman Numerals is M (1000) + L (50) + I (1) = MLI

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

1051 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 1051 in Roman Numerals, we group 1051 as 1000 + 50 + 1

  • 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
     
  • 50 in Roman Numerals - L
     
  • 1 in Roman Numerals - I

So, 1051 is written as MLI in Roman Numerals.

Problem 1

Calculate the product of D and XI.

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

The product of D and XI is VL.

Explanation

In numbers, D is 500 and XI is 11. The product of D and XI is 500 × 11 = 5500. 5500 in Roman Numerals can be written as VL.

Problem 2

A library has a collection of MCDII books and wants to distribute them equally among CXX students. How many books will each student receive?

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

Each student will receive XI books.

Explanation

To find the number of books each student receives, divide the total number of books by the number of students. MCDII = 1402 CXX = 120 Therefore, 1402 / 120 = 11.68 (rounded to 11) 11 in Roman Numerals is XI.

Problem 3

Find the sum of CMXL and CXI.

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

The sum of CMXL and CXI is MLI.

Explanation

Sum is the result of adding two numbers.

CMXL = 940

CXI = 111

940 + 111 = 1051

1051 in Roman Numerals is MLI.

Problem 4

What is the difference between ML and CXLIX?

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

The difference between ML and CXLIX is DCCI.

Explanation

The difference of two numbers is the value we get when subtracting one number from another.

ML = 1050

CXLIX = 149

1050 - 149 = 901

901 in Roman Numerals can be written as DCCI.

Problem 5

Express the sum of DLIII and DXLVIII in Roman Numerals.

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

The sum of DLIII and DXLVIII is MXI.

Explanation

Step 1: Convert DLIII and DXLVIII into numbers.

DLIII = 553

DXLVIII = 498

Add the numbers together: 553 + 498 = 1051

1051 in Roman Numerals is MXI.
