135 in roman numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are a way of expressing numbers using symbols. I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are the symbols we use. Roman numerals are used in royal titles, book names, sequences, and so on. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 135 in Roman Numerals?

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, often use Roman numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman numerals. Earlier, people used 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 CXXXV to represent 135, where C is 100, X is 10, and V is 5. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 135 in Roman Numerals

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, CXXXV → C + X + X + V → 100 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 135.

 

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 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 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

How to Write 135 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 135 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method

 

  • By Grouping Method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

135 in Roman Numerals by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 135 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 135 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

 

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, ones.

For 135, we write it as 100 + 30 + 5.


Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman numerals:
100 in Roman numerals — C
30 in Roman numerals — XXX
5 in Roman numerals — V


Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together.


Therefore, 135 in Roman numerals is C (100) + XXX (30) + V (5) = CXXXV.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

135 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 135 in Roman numerals, we group 135 as 100 + 30 + 5.


100 in Roman numerals — C
30 in Roman numerals — XXX
5 in Roman numerals — V


So, 135 is written as CXXXV in Roman numerals.
 

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 135 in Roman numerals, we group 135 as 100 + 30 + 5. 100 in Roman numerals — C 30 in Roman numerals — XXX 5 in Roman numerals — V So, 135 is written as CXXXV 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 135:

 

Number Roman Numeral Breakdown
130 CXXX 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 130
131 CXXXI 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 = 131
132 CXXXII 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 2 = 132
133 CXXXIII 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 3 = 133
134 CXXXIV 100 + (10 + (5 - 1)) + 10 + 10 = 134
135 CXXXV 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 135
136 CXXXVI 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 = 136
137 CXXXVII 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 2 = 137
138 CXXXVIII 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 3 = 138
139 CXXXIX 100 + (10 + (10 - 1)) + 10 + 10 = 139
