304 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. 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. to count earlier. 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 CCCIV to represent 304, where CCC is 300 and IV is 4. 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, then it is the addition method. For example, CCCIV → CCC + IV → 300 + 4 = 304

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated three times. CCC → 300.

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; it is a subtraction method. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4

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 VVV for 15; instead, we use XV, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.
 

Let’s now learn how to write 304 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 304 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 304 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: The number is broken based on the place value. Place value that is ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

For 304, we write it as 300 + 4

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

300 in Roman Numerals — CCC
4 in Roman Numerals — IV

Step 3: Combining them Roman Numerals together.

Therefore, 304 in Roman Numerals is CCC (300) + IV (4) = CCCIV

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

To write 304 in Roman Numerals, we group 304 as 300 + 4.

300 in Roman Numerals — CCC

4 in Roman Numerals — IV

So, 304 is written as CCCIV 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 304.
 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, CCCIV = CCC + IV = 300 + 4 = 304.

• Grouping method: Here, the given number is grouped based on its place value, and then we convert each group into its Roman numerals. For example, 304 = 300 + 4 = CCCIV.

• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times to represent the number 300).

• Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral; here, the smaller numeral is subtracted from the larger one. For example, IV = V - I = 4.

• Place value decomposition: Breaking down a number into its place values (hundreds, tens, and ones) to convert it into Roman Numerals. For example, 304 becomes 300 + 4.
