The ancient way of writing numbers is roman numerals. Today, we still see numerals in clocks and movie sequels. Here, we focus on the Roman numeral of 108.
Roman numerals use alphabets to represent each number. The roman numeral 108 is CVIII, where C is 100 and VIII is 8.
The values get added when the smaller number follows the larger number.
Example: L (50) + I (1) = LI (51)
Therefore, 108 in roman numeral is expressed as C (100) + VIII (8) = CVIII (108)
The repetition method won’t allow the letter to be repeated more than three times. For example, we can write the roman numeral I repeatedly for 10 times to denote the number 10. For 108, we write a CVIII. Where C means 100 and VIII is 8
The smaller value is subtracted from the larger number. Example: 5-1 = V - I = IV (4). The number ‘1’ comes after ‘5’ so that I is subtracted from V to get IV (4).
The roman numerals cannot be repeated more than three times. For example, instead of writing ‘IIIIIII’, we write VIII for 8, where V is 5 and III is 3.
There are two methods to write the number in ancient form, roman numerals. The methods are:
Here, we break the number into its corresponding place value.
Step 1: We break 108 as 1 in the hundreds place, 0 in the tens place, and 8 in one's place.
Step 2: The numbers in the place value will get converted into roman numerals
Step 3: Join the roman numerals to get the desired number
So, 108 in roman numerals is CVIII. Where C is 100 and VII is 8
The larger roman numeral gets broken into smaller parts.
For CVIII,
C → 100
VIII → 8
Add (100 + 8)→108
Simplify (CVIII - X) in roman numerals
Solve CVIII ÷ II
Find CVIII + CVIII
