2013 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

What is 2013 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 earlier. 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 MMXIII to represent 2013, where MM is 2000, X is 10, and III is 3. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 2013 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, XIII → X + I + I + I → 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated three times. III → 3.

 

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; it is a subtraction method. 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.

How to Write 2013 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 2013 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method

2013 in Roman Numeral by Expansion Method

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 2013 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 2013 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps,

 

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place value that is ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

 

For 2013, we write it as 2000 + 10 + 3

 

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

 

2000 in Roman Numeral — MM

10 in Roman Numeral — X

3 in Roman Numeral — III

 

Step 3: Combining the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 2013 in Roman Numeral is MM (2000) + X (10) + III (3) = MMXIII

2013 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

When writing a large number into Roman Numeral, we group the number.

 

To write 2013 in Roman Numeral, we group 2013 as 2000 + 10 + 3

 

2000 in Roman Numeral — MM

 

10 in Roman Numeral — X

 

3 in Roman Numeral — III

 

So, 2013 is written as MMXIII in Roman Numerals.

Important Glossaries for 2013 in Roman Numerals

  • Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, MMXIII = MM + X + III = 2000 + 10 + 3 = 2013

 

  • Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value, and then we convert each group into its Roman numerals. For example, 2013 = 2000 + 10 + 3 = MMXIII

 

  • Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).

 

  • Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller number precedes a larger one, indicating subtraction of the smaller from the larger. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.
