798 in Roman Numerals

Roman numerals are often seen in various contexts such as royal titles, like Henry I or Henry II. These symbols (I and II) are part of the Roman Numeral system. In ancient times, people counted using fingers, sticks, and bones. As civilization progressed, a standard form of counting became necessary. The Romans developed the Roman Numeral system using symbols I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). In Roman Numerals, we use DCCXCVIII to represent 798. Here, D is 500, CC is 200, XC is 90, and VIII is 8.

Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

There are certain basic rules for writing numbers in Roman Numerals. In this section, let’s discuss the basic rules to remember when writing numbers in Roman numerals.

Rule 1: Addition Method

The addition method is used when a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

Certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 300.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number in Roman Numerals, it is subtracted. For example, XC → C - X → 100 - 10 = 90.

Rule 4: Limitation Rule

Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we don't write VV for 10; instead, we use X. For 8, we use VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 798 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 798 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 798 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 798, we write it as 700 + 90 + 8.

Step 2: Converting each number into Roman Numerals:

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 90 in Roman Numerals - XC
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals - VIII

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 798 in Roman Numerals is DCC (700) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = DCCXCVIII.

When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 798 in Roman Numerals, we group 798 as 700 + 90 + 8.

• 700 in Roman Numerals - DCC
   
• 90 in Roman Numerals - XC
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals  VIII

So, 798 is written as DCCXCVIII 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 798.

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large numeral is followed by a smaller one, and their values are added. For example, VIII = V + III = 5 + 3 = 8.

• Grouping method: This method groups numbers based on their place value and converts each group into its Roman numerals. For example, 798 = 700 + 90 + 8 = DCCXCVIII.

• 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 300).

• Subtraction rule: This method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger one, indicating subtraction. For example, XC = C - X = 100 - 10 = 90.

• Place value: The value of a digit based on its position in a number. For example, in the number 798, 7 is in the hundreds place, 9 in the tens place, and 8 in the ones place.
