732 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed these names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are Roman numerals. Earlier, people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. When life became complex, a standard form was required for counting.

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 DCCXXXII to represent 732. Here, D is 500, CC is 200, XXX is 30, and II is 2.

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, DCCXXXII → D + CC + XXX + II → 500 + 200 + 30 + 2 = 732.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

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

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number precedes a large number, it is subtracted from the large 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 won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X.

Let’s now learn how to write 732 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 732 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 732 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value: ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 732, we write it as 700 + 30 + 2.

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman numerals.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals - II

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 732 in Roman numerals is DCC (700) + XXX (30) + II (2) = DCCXXXII.

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 732 in Roman numerals, we group 732 as 700 + 30 + 2.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 2 in Roman Numerals - II

So, 732 is written as DCCXXXII 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 732.

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, DCCXXXII = DCC + XXX + II = 732.
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 732 = 700 + 30 + 2 = DCCXXXII.
   
• 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 Method: If a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, it is subtracted from the larger numeral. For example, IV = 4.
   
• Limitation Rule: The symbols V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we use X instead of VV for 10.
