Roman numerals are a system 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 so on. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.
Roman numerals like Henry I, Henry II, and so on, are often seen in royal titles. Have you noticed these symbols and wondered what they represent? They are Roman numerals.
Ancient Romans used Roman numerals to count. The symbols include I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000).
In Roman numerals, we use XXIV and a bar over it to represent 24000, here XXIV is 24 and the bar indicates multiplication by 1000. 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.
The addition method is used when the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, XI → X + I → 10 + 1 = 11.
To write a large number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.
If a small number precedes a large number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9.
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.
Let’s now learn how to write 24000 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.
In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 24000 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 24000 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:
Step 1: Break the number based on place value. For 24000, we write it as 24 * 1000.
Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals.
Step 3: Combine them together with a bar over XXIV to indicate multiplication by 1000. Therefore, 24000 in Roman numerals is written as XXIV̅.
When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 24000 in Roman numerals, we group 24000 as 24 * 1000.
So, 24000 is written as XXIV̅ in Roman numerals.
Calculate the sum of XXIV and MMMCMXCVI.
