726 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented?

Those are Roman Numerals. Earlier people used to count using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. As 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 DCCXXVI to represent 726. Here, D is 500, CC is 200, XX is 20, and VI is 6. 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, VI → V + I → 5 + 1 = 6.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

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

Let’s now learn how to write 726 in Roman Numerals. Follow these methods to write the number in Roman Numerals.
 

In the expansion method, based on the place value, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 726 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 726 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break down the number based on place value. Place values include ones, tens, hundreds, etc.

For 726, we write it as 700 + 20 + 6.

Step 2: Convert each part into Roman Numerals:

- 700 in Roman Numerals — DCC
- 20 in Roman Numerals — XX
- 6 in Roman Numerals — VI

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. 

Therefore, 726 in Roman Numerals is DCC (700) + XX (20) + VI (6) = DCCXXVI.
 

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

To write 726 in Roman Numerals, we group 726 as 700 + 20 + 6:

- 700 in Roman Numerals — DCC
- 20 in Roman Numerals — XX
- 6 in Roman Numerals — VI

Thus, 726 is written as DCCXXVI 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 726:
 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large numeral is followed by a smaller numeral, and their values are added. For example, VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6.

• Grouping Method: Here, numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 726 = 700 + 20 + 6 = DCCXXVI.

• 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).

• Subtraction Rule: This method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, indicating subtraction. For example, IX = X - I = 9.

• Limitation Rule: Some symbols, like V, L, and D, cannot be repeated. For example, 10 is written as X, not VV.
