824 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles often use Roman numerals, such as Henry I, Henry II, etc. Have you noticed these numerals and wondered what these symbols represent? Those are 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 used for counting.

In Roman Numerals, we use DCCCXXIV to represent 824, where D is 500, CCC is 300, XX is 20, and IV is 4. 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, DCCCXXIV → D + CCC + XX + IV → 500 + 300 + 20 + 4 = 824

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number precedes a large number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. 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 don't write VVV for 15; instead, we use XV.

Let’s learn how to write 824 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 824 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 824 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 824, we write it as 800 + 20 + 4

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman Numerals:

• 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
   
• 20 in Roman Numerals - XX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 824 in Roman Numerals is DCCC (800) + XX (20) + IV (4) = DCCCXXIV

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 824 in Roman Numerals, we group 824 as 800 + 20 + 4

• 800 in Roman Numerals - DCCC
   
• 20 in Roman Numerals -XX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 824 is written as DCCCXXIV 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 824. 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, where the values are added. For example, DCCCXXIV = DCCC + XX + IV = 800 + 20 + 4 = 824.

• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 824 = 800 + 20 + 4 = DCCCXXIV.

• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times to represent 300).

• Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, resulting in the difference. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.

• Place value: Breaking down numbers according to their place values (hundreds, tens, ones) to convert them into Roman Numerals. For example, 824 is broken down into 800, 20, and 4.
