264 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman Numerals. Earlier people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc. to count. When life became complex, a standard form was required. 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 used to count.

In Roman Numerals, we use CCLXIV to represent 264. Here, C is 100, L is 50, X is 10, and IV is 4. 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, LX → L + X → 50 + 10 = 60.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated three times. For example, 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. 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 LL for 100; instead, we use C, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 264 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, based on place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 264 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 264 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. 

For 264, we write it as 200 + 60 + 4.

 
Step 2: Converting the numbers into Roman Numerals:

- 200 in Roman Numerals — CC

- 60 in Roman Numerals — LX

- 4 in Roman Numerals — IV

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together.  

Therefore, 264 in Roman Numerals is CC (200) + LX (60) + IV (4) = CCLXIV.

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the numbers. To write 264 in Roman Numerals, we group 264 as 200 + 60 + 4:

- 200 in Roman Numerals — CC

- 60 in Roman Numerals — LX

- 4 in Roman Numerals — IV

So, 264 is written as CCLXIV 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 264:

- CCLXIV = 264
- CCLXV = 265
- CCLXVI = 266
- CCLXVII = 267
- CCLXVIII = 268
- CCLXIX = 269

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, and the values are added. For example, LX = L + X = 50 + 10 = 60.
   
• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 264 = 200 + 60 + 4 = CCLXIV.
   
• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times to represent the number 300).
   
• Subtraction rule: This rule is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, indicating subtraction. For example, IV = 5 - 1 = 4.
   
• Limitation rule: This rule states that some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated, and symbols cannot be repeated more than three times.
