960 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 Roman Numerals. Earlier, people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. When 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 CMLX to represent 960, where CM is 900, L is 50, and X is 10. 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 the smaller number is placed after the larger number. For example, XI → X + I → 10 + 1 = 11

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated three times. For example, 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. 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.

Let’s now learn how to write 960 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 960 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 960 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value: hundreds, tens, and units. For 960, we write it as 900 + 50 + 10

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman Numerals:

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 50 in Roman Numerals - L
   
• 10 in Roman Numerals - X

Step 3: Combine them into Roman Numerals: Therefore, 960 in Roman Numerals is CM (900) + L (50) + X (10) = CMLX

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 960 in Roman Numerals, we group 960 as 900 + 50 + 10.

• 900 in Roman Numerals -CM
   
• 50 in Roman Numerals - L
   
• 10 in Roman Numerals - X

So, 960 is written as CMLX 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 960: 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large numeral is followed by a smaller numeral, and their values are added. For example, CMLX = CM + L + X = 900 + 50 + 10 = 960.

• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 960 = 900 + 50 + 10 = CMLX.

• Expansion method: Breaking down a number into its constituent values for conversion into Roman Numerals. For example, 960 = 900 + 50 + 10 = CMLX.

• Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one to represent the difference. For example, CM = 1000 - 100 = 900.

• Limitation rule: Roman numeral symbols cannot be repeated more than three times in succession, and certain symbols (V, L, D) cannot be repeated.
