970 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols represent? Those are the Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people used fingers, sticks, and bones to count. As life became more complex, a standardized form was required.

The Roman Numeral system was developed by the ancient Romans for this purpose. The symbols used are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). In Roman Numerals, we use CMLXX to represent 970, where CM is 900, L is 50, and XX is 20.

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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number; then, it is the addition method. For example, LXX → L + X + X → 50 + 10 + 10 = 70

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. XXX → 30.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number is followed by a large number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number. For example, CM → M - C → 1000 - 100 = 900

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.

Let’s now learn how to write 970 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 the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 970 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 970 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps,

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 970, we write it as 900 + 70

Step 2: Converting the numbers into Roman Numerals

• 900 in Roman Numeral - CM
   
• 70 in Roman Numeral - LXX

Step 3: Combining them together. Therefore, 970 in Roman Numeral is CM (900) + LXX (70) = CMLXX

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 970 in Roman Numerals, we group 970 as 900 + 70

• 900 in Roman Numeral - CM
   
• 70 in Roman Numeral - LXX

So, 970 is written as CMLXX 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 970. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, where the values are added. For example, LXX = L + X + X = 50 + 10 + 10 = 70.
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 970 = 900 + 70 = CMLXX.
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, XXX = 30 (X is repeated three times to represent the number 30).
   
• Subtraction Rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, and the smaller value is subtracted from the larger. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.
   
• Limitation Rule: Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, instead of writing VV for 10, we use X.
