936 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are Roman numerals. In earlier times, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became more 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 CMXXXVI to represent 936. Here, CM is 900, XXX is 30, and VI is 6. 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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6

Rule 2: Repetition Method

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

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, CM → M - C → 1000 - 100 = 900

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 DDD for 1500; instead, we use MD.

Let’s now learn how to write 936 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 936 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 936 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break down the number based on place value. Place values include ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 936, we write it as 900 + 30 + 6

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman numerals

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 6 in Roman Numerals - VI

Step 3: Combine them into Roman numerals. Therefore, 936 in Roman numerals is CM (900) + XXX (30) + VI (6) = CMXXXVI

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 936 in Roman numerals, we group 936 as 900 + 30 + 6

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 6 in Roman Numerals - VI

So, 936 is written as CMXXXVI 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 936. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, and the values are added. For example, VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6.

• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 936 = 900 + 30 + 6 = CMXXXVI.

• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral 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 when a smaller numeral is placed before a larger numeral to denote subtraction. For example, CM = 1000 - 100 = 900. 

• Limitation: Certain symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we do not write DD for 1000; instead, we use M.
