1906 in Roman Numerals
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 1906 in Roman Numerals?
The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, feature Roman Numerals. Have you noticed these 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 complex, a standard form was required for counting.
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 MCMVI to represent 1906. Here, M is 1000, CM is 900 (1000 - 100), and VI is 6.
Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.
Basic Rules for 1906 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, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.
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, 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 we write 8 as VIII, not IIIIIIII.
How to Write 1906 in Roman Numerals
Let’s now learn how to write 1906 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.
- By Expansion Method
- By Grouping Method
1906 in Roman Numerals 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 1906 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 1906 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:
Step 1: Break down the number based on the place value—ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 1906, break it as 1000 + 900 + 6.
Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals
- 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
- 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
- 6 in Roman Numerals - VI
Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 1906 in Roman Numerals is M (1000) + CM (900) + VI (6) = MCMVI
1906 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method
When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 1906 in Roman Numerals, we group 1906 as 1000 + 900 + 6.
- 1000 in Roman Numerals - M
- 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
- 6 in Roman Numerals - VI
So, 1906 is written as MCMVI in Roman Numerals.
Numbers Related to 1906 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 1906.
| Number | Roman Numeral | Breakdown |
|---|---|---|
| 1906 | MCMVI | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 5 + 1 = 1906 |
| 1907 | MCMVII | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 1907 |
| 1908 | MCMVIII | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 1908 |
| 1909 | MCMIX | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (10 - 1) = 1909 |
| 1910 | MCMX | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 10 = 1910 |
| 1911 | MCMXI | 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 10 + 1 = 1911 |
Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them in 1906 Roman Numerals
Students often make mistakes when writing numbers in Roman Numerals. To master Roman Numerals, we can learn a few common mistakes and ways to avoid them.
Mistake 1
Errors in the repetition method
The repetition method can be confusing for beginners as it states that Roman Numerals cannot be repeated more than three times. In contrast, some Roman Numerals such as V, L, and D cannot be repeated.
1906 in Roman Numerals Examples
Problem 1
A historian finds two ancient scrolls, one marked MCMI and the other MCMX. What is the total number of years represented by these scrolls?
The total number of years represented by the scrolls is MMMCMXI.
Explanation
MCMI represents 1901 and MCMX represents 1910.
Adding these together: 1901 + 1910 = 3811.
3811 in Roman numerals is MMMCMXI.
Problem 2
An archaeologist discovers a chest containing MCMVI coins divided equally among XIX compartments. How many coins are in each compartment?
Each compartment contains C coins.
Explanation
To find the number of coins per compartment, divide the total number of coins by the number of compartments.
MCMVI = 1906, XIX = 19.
So, 1906 / 19 = 100.
100 in Roman numerals is C.
Problem 3
Calculate the sum of MCM and VI.
The sum of MCM and VI is MCMVI.
Explanation
MCM is 1900 and VI is 6.
Adding them: 1900 + 6 = 1906.
1906 in Roman numerals is MCMVI.
Problem 4
What is the difference between MCMX and MCMVI?
The difference between MCMX and MCMVI is IV.
Explanation
MCMX is 1910 and MCMVI is 1906.
Subtracting them: 1910 - 1906 = 4.
4 in Roman numerals is IV.
Problem 5
Express the sum of 1906 and 94 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.
The Roman numeral for 1906 + 94 is MM.
Explanation
1906 in Roman numerals is MCMVI.
94 in Roman numerals is XCIV.
Adding these: 1906 + 94 = 2000.
Using the expansion method: 2000 = MM.

Important Glossaries for 1906 in Roman Numerals
Addition method: Used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; the values are added. For example, VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6.
- Grouping method: The given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 1906 = 1000 + 900 + 6 = MCMVI.
- Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).
- Subtraction method: Used when a smaller number precedes a larger numeral, the smaller value is subtracted from the larger one. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.
- Limitation rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we write 10 as X, not VV.
