Roman numerals are a method of expressing numbers using symbols. The symbols I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are utilized in this system. Roman numerals are commonly seen in royal titles, book names, sequences, and more. Here, we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 433 in Roman Numerals?

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so forth, utilize Roman numerals. Have you noticed these symbols and wondered about their meanings? These are Roman numerals.

 

Before this system, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became more complex, a standardized counting system was necessary. Ancient Romans devised the Roman numeral system. The symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) were used.

 

In Roman numerals, we use CDXXXIII to represent 433, where CD is 400, XXX is 30, and III is 3. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 433 in Roman Numerals

Certain basic rules must be followed when writing numbers in Roman numerals. Here, we will discuss some rules to remember.

 

Rule 1: Addition Method

The addition method is used when a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, XXXIII → X + X + X + I + I + I → 30 + 3 = 33

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Some numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

A smaller number before a larger number indicates subtraction. For example, CD → D - C → 500 - 100 = 400

 

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and certain symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we do not write VVV for 15; instead, we use XV.

How to Write 433 in Roman Numerals

Let’s learn how to write 433 in Roman numerals using different methods.

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

433 in Roman Numeral by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, a number is broken down based on place value. Here’s how to write 433 in Roman numerals using this method.

 

Step 1: Break the number based on place value. For 433, we have hundreds, tens, and ones. For 433, we write it as 400 + 30 + 3

 

Step 2: Convert each number to Roman numerals.

400 in Roman numerals - CD

30 in Roman numerals - XXX

3 in Roman numerals - III

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 433 in Roman numerals is CD (400) + XXX (30) + III (3) = CDXXXIII

433 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing large numbers in Roman numerals, we can group them. To write 433 in Roman numerals, group it as 400 + 30 + 3.

 

  • 400 in Roman numerals - CD
     
  • 30 in Roman numerals - XXX
     
  • 3 in Roman numerals - III

 

So, 433 is written as CDXXXIII in Roman numerals.
