1964 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman numerals.

Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. When life became complex, a standard form was required to count. 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 MCMLXIV to represent 1964. 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, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.

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, 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, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 1964 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 1964 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 1964 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place value includes ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 1964, we write it as 1000 + 900 + 60 + 4

Step 2: Converting the numbers into Roman numerals

• 1000 in Roman numerals - M

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM

• 60 in Roman numerals - LX

• 4 in Roman numerals - IV

Step 3: Combining the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 1964 in Roman numerals is M (1000) + CM (900) + LX (60) + IV (4) = MCMLXIV

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 1964 in Roman numerals, we group it as 1000 + 900 + 60 + 4

• 1000 in Roman numerals - M

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM

• 60 in Roman numerals - LX

• 4 in Roman numerals - IV

So, 1964 is written as MCMLXIV 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 1964. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger numeral is followed by a smaller one. For example, VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6.

• Subtraction Method: Used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, such as IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.

• Grouping Method: Numbers are grouped based on their place value and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 1964 = 1000 + 900 + 60 + 4 = MCMLXIV.

• 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.

• Limitation Rule: Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated.
