The number 58 in Roman numerals is written as LVIII. In the Roman numeral system, L stands for 50, V stands for 5, and I stand for 1. To make 58, we use an L for 50, a V for 5, and two “I”s for 2 (so, 50 + 5 + 1 + 1= 58). So, when you put them together like this: L + V + I + I + I, you get 58. The Romans were the first to use the method of writing Roman numerals, and we use it today to number monuments, number book pages, and many more.
The number 58 in Roman numerals is written as LVIII. In this system, L represents 50, V represents 5 and III represents 3. When you put all of these together, LVIII, it means you add 50 with 5, and 3 which equals 58. So, LVIII represents the number 58 in Roman numerals.
58=ⅬⅦⅠ
There are four rules to remember when working with Roman Numerals.
Rule 1: Addition Rule
You can add Roman Numerals together. For example, X (10) plus V (5) makes XV (15).
Ⅼ + Ⅴ = ⅬⅤ or 50 + 5 = 55
Rule 2: Repetition Rule
You can repeat some letters to make larger numbers. For example, I is 1, and III is 3.
Ⅰ is 1
Ⅲ is 3
Rule 3: Subtraction Rule
When a smaller number is before a bigger number, you subtract. IV means 5 (V) minus 1 (I), which equals 4.
Ⅴ - ⅠⅠ = ⅠⅠⅠ or 5 - 2 = 3
Rule 4: Limitation Rule
You can only repeat I, X, and C up to three times. For example, you can't write XXXX for 40; instead, use XL.

There are two easy ways to write Roman Numerals: The Expansion Method and the Grouping Method.
Number 58 can be written in Roman Numerals using the Expansion Method.
Follow these steps to write down 58 in Roman Numeral:
Step 1: Identify the Numbers: Think about the numbers that make up 58. You can think of it as 8 more than 50.
Step 2: Use Roman Numeral: In Roman Numeral, 50 is written as L, and 8 is written as VIII.
Step 3: Combine Them: Since 58 is 8 more than 50, you put VIII after L. This shows that you are adding 8 to 50.
So, when you combine them, 58 in the Roman numerals will be LVIII.
Let’s learn how to write 58 in Roman Numerals.
To write the number 58 in Roman numerals using the Grouping Method, follow these steps:
Step 1: Start with the number 58.
Step 2: Break the number down into smaller parts: You can break down 58 as 50, 5, and 3. You will have one 50, one 5, and three 1’s.
Step 3: Convert the numbers into Roman Numerals: In Roman numerals, 50 is written as L, 5 is written as V, and 3 is written as III. So, 58 will be LVIII.
So, you can group a 50 (L), a 5 (V), and three 1s (III) to write 58 as LVIII.
