826 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 826 in Roman Numerals?

The royal titles, such as Henry VIII, Henry IX, and so on, have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (VIII and IX) 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 DCCCXXVI to represent 826, here D is 500, CCC is 300, XX is 20, and VI is 6. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 826 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. CCC → 300.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number precedes a large number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number, it is a subtraction method. 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 8 we write as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 826 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 826 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

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

826 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 826 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 826 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: The number is broken based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 826, we write it as 800 + 20 + 6

 

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

  • 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
     
  • 20 in Roman Numerals - XX
     
  • 6 in Roman Numerals - VI

 

Step 3: Combining them together. Therefore, 826 in Roman Numerals is DCCC (800) + XX (20) + VI (6) = DCCCXXVI

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

826 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 826 in Roman Numerals, we group 826 as 800 + 20 + 6

 

  • 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
     
  • 20 in Roman Numerals - XX
     
  • 6 in Roman Numerals - VI

 

So, 826 is written as DCCCXXVI in Roman Numerals.

Problem 2

A historian is cataloging ancient artifacts and finds DCCCXXVI coins. If he distributes them equally among II committees, how many coins does each committee receive?

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

Each committee receives CDXIII coins.

Explanation

To find the number of coins each committee receives, divide the total number of coins by the number of committees.

DCCCXXVI = 826

II = 2

826 / 2 = 413

413 in Roman Numerals is CDXIII.

Calculate the difference when M is subtracted from MDCCCXXVI.

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

The difference is DCCCXXVI.

Explanation

Subtract the two numbers to find the difference.

MDCCCXXVI = 1826

M = 1000

1826 - 1000 = 826

826 in Roman Numerals is DCCCXXVI.
