484 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. 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 CDLXXXIV to represent 484, where C is 100, D is 500, L is 50, X is 10, V is 5, and I is 1.

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, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated three times. For example, XXX → 30.

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 VV for 10; instead, we use X, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 484 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 484 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 484 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are hundreds, tens, ones, etc. For 484, we write it as 400 + 80 + 4

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman numerals

• 400 in Roman Numerals - CD
   
• 80 in Roman Numerals - LXXX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

Step 3: Combining the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 484 in Roman Numerals is CD (400) + LXXX (80) + IV (4) = CDLXXXIV

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the numbers. To write 484 in Roman numerals, we group 484 as 400 + 80 + 4

• 400 in Roman Numerals - CD
   
• 80 in Roman Numerals - LXXX
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 484 is written as CDLXXXIV 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 484 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a numeral with a larger value is followed by a numeral with a smaller value; here, the values are added. For example, XVI = X + V + I = 10 + 5 + 1 = 16.
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 484 = 400 + 80 + 4 = CDLXXXIV.
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, XXX = 30 (X is repeated three times to represent the number 30).
   
• Subtraction Rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, and the smaller numeral is subtracted from the larger. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.
   
• Limitation Rule: Some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated, and the same Roman numeral cannot be used more than three times in succession.
