1002 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, often use Roman Numerals. Ever noticed those symbols and wondered what they represented? Those are Roman Numerals. Early humans counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As life grew more complex, a standard form was needed to count.

Ancient Romans used the Roman Numeral system: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols used to count. In Roman Numerals, we use MII to represent 1002, where M is 1000 and II is 2.

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, MII → M + I + I → 1000 + 1 + 1 = 1002

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated up to three times. For instance, II → 2.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number is followed by a larger number in Roman Numerals, it is subtracted 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. Similarly, we write VIII for 8, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 1002 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, the number is broken down based on place value. In this section, we will learn how to write 1002 in Roman Numerals using the expansion method. To write 1002 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place values. Place values include ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 1002, we write it as 1000 + 2

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

• 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals - II

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 1002 in Roman Numerals is M (1000) + II (2) = MII

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the numbers. To write 1002 in Roman Numerals, we group 1002 as 1000 + 2

• 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals - II

So, 1002 is written as MII 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 1002

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, here the values are added. For example, MII = M + II = 1000 + 2 = 1002
   
• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place values and then converted into Roman Numerals. For example, 1002 = 1000 + 2 = MII
   
• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).
   
• Subtraction rule: When a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, the smaller numeral is subtracted. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.
   
• Place value: In the Roman Numeral system, place value helps to break down numbers for easier conversion. For example, 1002 can be broken down into 1000 and 2, which are M and II, respectively.
