75 in Roman Numerals

Professor Greenline Explaining Math Concepts

Roman numerals are the 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 75 in Roman Numerals?

The 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 to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. When life became complex, a standard form was required to count. Ancient Romans developed the Roman Numeral system. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), and M (1000) are the symbols we use to count.

 

In Roman Numerals, we use LXXV to represent 75, here L is 50, X is 10, and V is 5. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 75 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, LXXV → L + X + X + V → 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 75

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated up to three times. XXX → 30.

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

If a small number is placed before a larger number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, XL → L - X → 50 - 10 = 40

 

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 LL for 100; instead, we use C.

How to Write 75 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 75 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals. 

 

  • By Expansion Method
  • By Grouping Method
Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

75 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 75 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 75 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

 

Step 1: Break down the number based on place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

For 75, we write it as 50 + 10 + 10 + 5.


Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals:

            50 in Roman Numerals — L
           10 in Roman Numerals — X
            5 in Roman Numerals — V

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. 

 

Therefore, 75 in Roman Numerals is L (50) + X (10) + X (10) + V (5) = LXXV

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

75 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method

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

To write 75 in Roman Numerals, we group 75 as 50 + 10 + 10 + 5.

50 in Roman Numerals — L
10 in Roman Numerals — X
5 in Roman Numerals — V

So, 75 is written as LXXV in Roman Numerals.

Problem 1

A historian found a collection of LXXV ancient coins. If he decides to distribute them equally among V archaeologists, how many coins will each archaeologist receive?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each archaeologist will receive XV coins.
 

Explanation

To find the number of coins each archaeologist receives, divide the total number of coins by the number of archaeologists.

LXXV = 75  

V = 5  

Therefore, LXXV / V = 75 / 5 = 15.  

15 in Roman numerals is XV.

Problem 2

Calculate the sum of XXV and L.

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The sum of XXV and L is LXXV.

Explanation

Sum is the result of adding two numbers.

XXV = 25  

L = 50  

25 + 50 = 75  

75 in Roman Numerals is LXXV.  

The sum of XXV and L is LXXV.

Problem 3

A library has a collection of C books, but XXV of them are on loan. How many books are currently available in the library?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The number of books currently available is LXXV.

Explanation

Subtract the number of books on loan from the total number of books.

C = 100  

XXV = 25  

100 - 25 = 75  

75 in Roman Numerals is LXXV.  

The number of books available is LXXV.

Problem 4

If an art gallery is displaying LXXV paintings and wants to organize them into V equal sections, how many paintings will each section have?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

Each section will have XV paintings.

Explanation

Divide the total number of paintings by the number of sections.

LXXV = 75  

V = 5  

75 / 5 = 15  

15 in Roman Numerals is XV.

Problem 5

A mathematician is writing a paper and needs to express the number resulting from L plus XXV in Roman numerals. What is the result?

Ray, the Boy Character from BrightChamps Saying "Let’s Begin"

The result of L plus XXV is LXXV.

Explanation

Add the numbers together.

L = 50  

XXV = 25  

50 + 25 = 75  

75 in Roman Numerals is LXXV.
