926 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 represent? Those are the Roman numerals. Earlier people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. 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 CMXXVI to represent 926. Here, CM is 900, 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 the smaller number is placed after the 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, XX → X + X = 20.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a smaller number precedes a larger number in Roman numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the larger number. For example, CM → M - C → 1000 - 100 = 900

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 write 50 as L, not XXXXX.

Let’s now learn how to write 926 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 place values, the number is broken down. In this section, we will learn how to write 926 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 926 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place values: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 926, we write it as 900 + 20 + 6.

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman numerals:

900 in Roman numerals - CM

20 in Roman numerals - XX

6 in Roman numerals - VI

Step 3: Combine these Roman numerals together. Therefore, 926 in Roman numerals is CM (900) + XX (20) + VI (6) = CMXXVI

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the numbers. To write 926 in Roman numerals, we group 926 as 900 + 20 + 6.

• 900 in Roman numerals  CM
   
• 20 in Roman numerals  XX
   
• 6 in Roman numerals - VI

So, 926 is written as CMXXVI 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 926: 

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

• Subtraction Rule: This rule applies when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, indicating subtraction. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.

• Grouping Method: In this method, numbers are grouped based on their place values and converted into Roman numerals. For example, 926 = 900 + 20 + 6 = CMXXVI.

• Repetition Rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeral system can be repeated up to three times. For example, XXX = 30.

• Limitation Rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, 50 is written as L, not XXXXX.
