852 in Roman Numerals

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

Those are the Roman Numerals. In ancient times, 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 DCCCLII to represent 852. Here, D is 500, CCC is 300, L is 50, and II is 2. 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, VIII → V + I + I + I → 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, CCC → 100 + 100 + 100 = 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 larger 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, and 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 852 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 852 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 852 in Roman Numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 852, we write it as 800 + 50 + 2.

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman Numerals:

800 in Roman Numerals — DCCC

50 in Roman Numerals — L

2 in Roman Numerals — II

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together.

Therefore, 852 in Roman Numerals is DCCC (800) + L (50) + II (2) = DCCCLII

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

To write 852 in Roman Numerals, we group 852 as 800 + 50 + 2.

800 in Roman Numeral — DCCC

50 in Roman Numeral — L

2 in Roman Numeral — II

So, 852 is written as DCCCLII 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 852. 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral; here, the values are added. For example, DCCCLII = DCCC + L + II = 800 + 50 + 2 = 852.

• Grouping method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 852 = 800 + 50 + 2 = DCCCLII.

• 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: This rule applies when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, subtracting the smaller from the larger. For example, IX = X - I = 9.

• Place value: Understanding place values is crucial for converting numbers into Roman Numerals, as each digit is represented by a specific Roman numeral.
