504 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. 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 DIV to represent 504, where D is 500, 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, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write larger numbers, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated three times. For example, III → 3.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number is followed by a larger number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number, which is the subtraction method. For example, IX → X - I → 10 - 1 = 9

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 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 504 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 504 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 504 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 504, we write it as 500 + 4

Step 2: Converting the numbers into Roman Numerals

• 500 in Roman Numerals - D
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

Step 3: Combining the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 504 in Roman Numerals is D + IV = DIV

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 504 in Roman Numerals, we group 504 as 500 + 4

• 500 in Roman Numerals - D
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV
   

So, 504 is written as DIV 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 504. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, DIV = D + IV = 500 + 4 = 504.
   
• Grouping Method: Here, the given number is grouped based on its place value and then converted into its Roman numerals. For example, 504 = 500 + 4 = DIV.
   
• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).
   
• Subtraction Method: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, and the smaller is subtracted from the larger. For example, IV = 5 - 1 = 4.
   
• Limitation Rule: Some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated in Roman Numerals.
