704 in Roman Numerals

Have you ever seen royal titles like Henry I, Henry II, and wondered what the symbols (I and II) represented? Those are Roman Numerals. In ancient times, people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As life became more complex, a standardized counting system was needed.

The ancient Romans developed the Roman Numeral system. The symbols used are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). In Roman Numerals, we use DCCIV to represent 704. Here, D is 500, CC is 200, 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 a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, DCC → D + CC → 500 + 200 = 700

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Some Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times to denote an increase in value. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number precedes a large number in Roman Numerals, it is subtracted from the larger number. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times. Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For instance, we use X for 10 rather than VV.

Let’s learn how to write 704 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals:

• By Expansion Method
• By Grouping Method

In the expansion method, the number is broken down based on place value. Here, we will learn how to write 704 in Roman numerals using this method. To write 704 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value. Ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 704, we write it as 700 + 4

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV
   

Step 3: Combine them into Roman Numerals. Therefore, 704 in Roman Numerals is DCC (700) + IV (4) = DCCIV

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we often group the number. To write 704 in Roman Numerals, group 704 as 700 + 4

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 4 in Roman Numerals - IV

So, 704 is written as DCCIV in Roman Numerals.

Roman Numerals follow a certain pattern, making them appear similar. In this section, we will learn some numbers related to the Roman numeral 704. 

• Addition rule: This method is used when a large numeral is followed by a smaller numeral, where the values are added. For example, DCCIV = DCC + IV = 704.
   
• Grouping method: Here, numbers are grouped based on their place value, then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 704 = 700 + 4 = DCCIV.
   
• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, CCC = 300 (C is repeated three times).
   
• Subtraction rule: A smaller numeral placed before a larger numeral indicates subtraction. For example, IV = 4 (5 - 1).
   
• Place value: When converting numbers to Roman numerals, place value refers to the value of the digit depending on its position in the number. For example, in 704, the 7 represents 700.
