Roman Numerals 900 to 1000

Roman Numerals use symbols to represent number systems. Ancient Romans used the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, and M to represent the number system.

The unavailability of zero at that time and the lack of other mathematical operations made the Roman Numerals obsolete in recent times. For example, we write 950 as CML.

Roman numbers are used today in clocks, chapters in books, classrooms, etc. The following chart helps us to understand the numerals better. List of Roman Numerals 900 to 1000 The list of Roman Numerals provides an organized way to understand how those letters combine to represent a number.

The given list starts from CM (900) to M (1000). Learning these numerals helps you in a deeper understanding of the numerical system.

Roman Numerals rely on specific symbols, and it has rules of addition and subtraction. The basic symbols in Roman Numerals are: I = 1 V = 5 X = 10 L = 50 C = 100 D = 500 M = 1000 Using the above symbols, we can combine the Roman Numerals for the numbers easily.

There are two basic methods of writing Roman Numerals, they are By Expansion Method By Grouping

By Expansion Method

Through the expansion method, we break down the numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones parts and then convert them into numerals.

Step 1: Break the numbers into ones, tens, and hundreds parts.

Step 2: Write Roman Numerals for each part.

Step 3: Combine all the parts to get the numerals.

Example: For the number 999.

Step 1: Break the numbers 900 + 90 + 9 = 999

Step 2: Add Roman Numerals for each part The Roman Numeral of 900 is CM. The Roman Numeral of 90 is XC. The Roman Numeral of 9 is IX.

Step 3: Combine all the parts 900 (CM) + 90 (XC) + 9 (IX) = CMXCIX. Therefore, the Roman Numeral of 999 is CMXCIX. 

By Grouping Method

Grouping method directly from the number by combining Roman Numeral symbols directly. It uses addition and subtraction rules.

Step 1: Start writing numerals for the largest number.

Step 2: Smaller numbers are either getting added or subtracted.

Following the rule of adding and subtraction is mandatory.

Addition: smaller numeral after the larger numeral.

Subtraction: smaller numeral before the large numeral. Example: For the number 912.

Step 1: Start with the larger numbers. While splitting, we will get 900 and 12 The Roman Numeral of 900 is CM

Step 2: Add or subtract the smaller number If we add 12 to 900 it will become 912. The Roman Numeral of 12 is XII Therefore, the Roman Numeral of 912 is CMXII.

Roman Numerals follow rules to make sure the number is written correctly. Here are some main rules given below

Rule 1: Addition Method

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Rule 1: Addition Method

In Roman Numerals, if the smaller numeral comes after the large numeral, then we need to add their values. Example: If the given number is CML. We can see that the number CM refers to 900 and the other number refers to 50. So in this, the smaller numeral is after the large numeral, so we need to add the 900 and 50 to get the value 950.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

The Roman Numeral can be repeated up to three times to increase its value. The numbers cannot be repeated after three times. Only symbols like I, X, C, and M can be repeated and V, L, and D cannot be repeated. Example: CCC = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300 repeating the numeral C for the fourth time is not allowed.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If the smaller numeral comes before the large numeral, then we need to subtract the smaller numeral from the larger numeral to get the number. There are three rules in subtraction, they are, I can be subtracted from V and X. X can be subtracted from L and C. C can be subtracted from D and M. Example: In the number CM. Here, M is the biggest numeral and C is the smallest numeral. As we see that the smaller numeral is before the larger numeral, we need to subtract to get the number. M (1000) - C (100) = CM (900).

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Roman Numerals consist of several limitations, they are: A numeral cannot be repeated more than three times. For example, III (3) cannot be repeated more than 3 times, instead we use IV for writing 4. Subtraction cannot be done with the non-pair numbers. For example, XI here X (10) - I(1) gives IX is applicable but IC, C (100) - I(1) is not applicable. Only one subtraction can be allowed in one numeral. For example, XL (40), L (50) - X (10) is applicable to get 40 but XXL is not applicable to get the number 30.

Roman Numerals are fun to learn and easy to write when you know the following tips and tricks.

• Memorize the basic symbols like I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000), to write and read the other numerals easily.
   
• Always break the big numerals into smaller parts to make it easier to read and write.
   
• Remember the repetition rule, a number should not be added more than three times.
   
• Practice the smaller numerals and gradually move to the bigger values.
   
• We use numerals in clocks, classrooms, etc., and try to read from the numeral clock to make numerals easy to learn.

• Breaking Numbers: It is the process of splitting a larger number into smaller parts. For example, For breaking 975 we can divide it as 900 + 70 + 5.

• Repetition: Using the same symbols more than once. For example, XXX.

• Numerical System: The numbers, used in ancient Rome, used Latin letters rather than digits. For example, CM, D, M, etc.

• Addition Method: Adding values of smaller symbols placed after larger symbols. For example, VI (5 + 1 = 6).

• Subtraction Method: Subtracting values of smaller symbols placed before larger symbols. For example, IX (10 - 1 = 9).
