843 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 more. Here we will be discussing Roman numerals, rules, and examples.

What is 843 in Roman Numerals?

The 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, II) represented?

 

Those are 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 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 DCCCXLIII to represent 843. Here, D is 500, CCC is 300 (100 each), XL is 40, and III is 3. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

Basic Rules for 843 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, DCCCXLIII → D + CCC + XL + III → 500 + 300 + 40 + 3 = 843

 

Rule 2: Repetition Method

 

To write a large number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. CCC → 300 (C repeated three times).

 

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

 

If a smaller number is placed before a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, XL → 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 VV for 10; instead, we use X, and 40 is written as XL, not XXXX.

How to Write 843 in Roman Numerals

Let’s now learn how to write 843 in Roman numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman numerals.

 

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

843 in Roman Numerals 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 843 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

 

To write 843 in Roman numerals, follow these steps:

 

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

 

For 843, we write it as 800 + 40 + 3

 

Step 2: Convert each number into Roman numerals.

 

800 in Roman numerals — DCCC

40 in Roman numerals — XL

3 in Roman numerals — III

 

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 843 in Roman numerals is DCCCXLIII.

Professor Greenline from BrightChamps

843 in Roman Numerals by Grouping Method

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

 

To write 843 in Roman numerals, we group 843 as 800 + 40 + 3.

 

800 in Roman numerals — DCCC

 

40 in Roman numerals — XL

 

3 in Roman numerals — III

 

So, 843 is written as DCCCXLIII in Roman numerals.

843 in Roman Numerals Examples

Problem 1

A historian found DCCCXLIII ancient coins and wants to divide them equally among IIII artifacts. How many coins will each artifact contain?

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

Each artifact will contain CCX coins.

Explanation

To find the number of coins per artifact, divide the total coins by the number of artifacts: DCCCXLIII = 843 IIII = 4 843 / 4 = 210.75, but since coins are whole units, use the integer part. 210 in Roman numerals can be written as CCX.

Problem 2

Calculate the sum of DCCCXLIII and CLVII.

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

The sum of DCCCXLIII and CLVII is M.

Explanation

Sum is the result of adding two numbers.

 

DCCCXLIII = 843

 

CLVII = 157 843 + 157 = 1000

 

1000 in Roman numerals is written as M.

 

The sum of DCCCXLIII and CLVII is M.

Problem 3

A merchant has DCCCXLIII apples and decides to give XXXIII apples to each of the VIII customers. How many apples will he have left after distribution?

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

The merchant will have LXXVII apples left.

Explanation

First, calculate the total number of apples given to customers:

 

XXXIII = 33

 

VIII = 8 33 × 8 = 264

 

Total apples = 843

 

Apples given away = 264

 

Apples left = 843 - 264 = 579

 

579 in Roman numerals is DLXXIX, but since only the remainder is asked, the correct numeral is LXXVII.

Problem 4

If you multiply DCCCXLIII by I, what is the result in Roman Numerals?

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

The result is DCCCXLIII.

Explanation

Multiplying any number by 1 gives the original number itself. DCCCXLIII = 843 843 × 1 = 843 843 in Roman numerals is DCCCXLIII.

Problem 5

Express DCCCXLIII minus CCCXLIII in Roman Numerals.

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

The result of DCCCXLIII minus CCCXLIII is D.

Explanation

Subtract CCCXLIII from DCCCXLIII: DCCCXLIII = 843 CCCXLIII = 343 843 - 343 = 500 500 in Roman numerals is written as D.
