CVIII in Roman Numeral
What is CVIII in Roman Numerals
Roman numerals use alphabets to represent each number. The roman numeral 108 is CVIII, where C is 100 and VIII is 8.
Basic rules for 108 in Roman Numeral
- Addition Method
The values get added when the smaller number follows the larger number.
Example: L (50) + I (1) = LI (51)
Therefore, 108 in roman numeral is expressed as C (100) + VIII (8) = CVIII (108)
- Repetition Method
The repetition method won’t allow the letter to be repeated more than three times. For example, we can write the roman numeral I repeatedly for 10 times to denote the number 10. For 108, we write a CVIII. Where C means 100 and VIII is 8
- Subtraction Method
The smaller value is subtracted from the larger number. Example: 5-1 = V - I = IV (4). The number ‘1’ comes after ‘5’ so that I is subtracted from V to get IV (4).
- Limitation Rule
The roman numerals cannot be repeated more than three times. For example, instead of writing ‘IIIIIII’, we write VIII for 8, where V is 5 and III is 3.
