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 so on. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 31000 in Roman Numerals?

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. 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 earlier. 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 XXXI to represent 31000, where X is 10000 and M is 1000. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 31000 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, XXXI → XXX (30000) + I (1000) = 31000.

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated three times. For example, XXX → 30000.

 

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 VVV for 15; instead, we use XV.

How to Write 31000 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 31000 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method

31000 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 31000 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 31000 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value: ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, etc. For 31000, we write it as 30000 + 1000.

 

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals:

  • 30000 in Roman numerals is represented by XXX (where each X is 10000).

 

  • 1000 in Roman numerals is represented by M.

 

Step 3: Combine them together. Therefore, 31000 in Roman numerals is XXX (30000) + M (1000) = XXXI.

31000 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 31000 in Roman numerals, we group 31000 as 30000 + 1000.

  • 30000 in Roman numerals is represented by XXX.

 

  • 1000 in Roman numerals is represented by M.

So, 31000 is written as XXXI in Roman numerals.
