458 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 more. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 458 in Roman Numerals?

In royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, Roman numerals are used to denote order. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are Roman numerals.

 

Earlier, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. When life became more complex, a standard form was required for counting. Ancient Romans used the Roman numeral system for this purpose. 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 CDL VIII to represent 458. C is 100, D is 500, L is 50, and VIII is 8. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how to write them.458 in roman numerals

Basic Rules for 458 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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write a larger number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

If a smaller number precedes a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, XL → L - X → 50 - 10 = 40

 

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

 

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, 20 is written as XX, not VVVV.

How to Write 458 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 458 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals:

 

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

458 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, the number is broken down based on place value. Here, we will learn how to write 458 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 458 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on place value (ones, tens, hundreds, etc.). For 458, we write it as 400 + 50 + 8.

 

Step 2: Convert each part into Roman numerals: 400 in Roman numerals — CD 50 in Roman numerals — L 8 in Roman numerals — VIII

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 458 in Roman numerals is CD (400) + L (50) + VIII (8) = CDLVIII

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

458 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 458 in Roman numerals, we group it as 400 + 50 + 8.

 

  • 400 in Roman numerals - CD
     
  • 50 in Roman numerals - L
     
  • 8 in Roman numerals - VIII

 

So, 458 is written as CDLVIII in Roman numerals.

Problem 1

Calculate the sum of CDL and VIII.

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

The sum of CDL and VIII is CDLVIII.

Explanation

In Roman numerals, CDL is 450 and VIII is 8.

Adding them gives 450 + 8 = 458.

In Roman numerals, 458 is written as CDLVIII.

Problem 2

A historian finds a scroll dated CD years ago, and another scroll dated LVIII years ago. How many years ago was the older scroll compared to the more recent one?

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

The older scroll is CCCXLII years older.

Explanation

CD is 400 and LVIII is 58.

The difference between the two dates is 400 - 58 = 342.

In Roman numerals, 342 is written as CCCXLII, meaning the older scroll is CCCXLII years older.

Problem 3

A museum received a donation of CDXLII artifacts and later acquired XVI more. What is the total number of artifacts in Roman numerals?

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

The total number of artifacts is CDLVIII.

Explanation

Initially, there are CDXLII artifacts, which is 442.

Adding XVI (16) gives 442 + 16 = 458.

In Roman numerals, 458 is written as CDLVIII.

Problem 4

If a library categorizes books into sections of XLV each, how many complete sections can they form with MXL books?

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

The library can form XXIII complete sections.

Explanation

MXL is 1040.

Dividing 1040 by 45 (XLV), we get

1040 ÷ 45 = 23 complete sections.

In Roman numerals, 23 is written as XXIII.

Problem 5

Express the number 458 using Roman numerals by breaking it down into its components.

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

The number 458 in Roman numerals is CDLVIII.

Explanation

To express 458 in Roman numerals, break it down: 400 + 50 + 8.

In Roman numerals, 400 is CD, 50 is L, and 8 is VIII.

Combine them to get CDLVIII.
