674 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are the 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 674 in Roman Numerals?

The 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. 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 DCLXXIV to represent 674. Here, D is 500, C is 100, L is 50, X is 10, and IV is 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.674 in roman numerals

Basic Rules for 674 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, DCLXXIV → D + C + L + X + X + IV → 500 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 674

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated up to three times. For example, XX → 20 (X is repeated twice).

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

If a smaller number is placed before a larger number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger one. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4

 

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. For 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 674 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 674 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method

674 in Roman Numeral 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 674 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 674 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 674, we write it as 600 + 70 + 4

 

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals
 

  • 600 in Roman Numeral - DC
     
  • 70 in Roman Numeral - LXX
     
  • 4 in Roman Numeral - IV

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 674 in Roman Numerals is DC (600) + LXX (70) + IV (4) = DCLXXIV

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

674 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 674 in Roman Numerals, we group 674 as 600 + 70 + 4

 

  • 600 in Roman Numeral - DC
     
  • 70 in Roman Numeral - LXX
     
  • 4 in Roman Numeral - IV

 

So, 674 is written as DCLXXIV in Roman Numerals.

Problem 2

A library has a collection of DCLXXIV ancient manuscripts and plans to distribute them equally among II schools. How many manuscripts will each school receive?

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

Each school will receive CCCXXXVII manuscripts.

Explanation

DCLXXIV equals 674,

II equals 2.

Dividing 674 by 2 gives 337.

CCCXXXVII is the Roman numeral for 337.

Problem 3

A historian finds that the difference between the number of relics in two collections is DCCXXIV. If one collection has MMMCD relics, how many relics does the other collection have?

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

The other collection has MMMDCLXXVI relics.

Explanation

DCCXXIV is 724.

MMMCD is 3400.

Therefore, the other collection has 3400 - 724 = 2676 relics.

The Roman numeral for 2676 is MMMDCLXXVI.
