928 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, often use Roman numerals. Have you noticed the names and wondered what these symbols (I and II) represented? Those are the Roman Numerals. Earlier 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 CMXXVIII to represent 928. Here, CM is 900, XX is 20, and VIII is 8. 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, VIII → V + III → 5 + 3 = 8.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated three times. For example, III → 3.

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. Similarly, 8 is written as VIII, not IIIIIIII.

Let’s now learn how to write 928 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 928 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 928 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on the place value. Place values are ones, tens, hundreds, etc. For 928, we write it as 900 + 20 + 8.

Step 2: Convert the number into Roman Numerals:

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 20 in Roman Numerals - XX
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals - VIII

Step 3: Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 928 in Roman Numerals is CM (900) + XX (20) + VIII (8) = CMXXVIII.

When writing a large number into Roman Numerals, we group the number. To write 928 in Roman Numerals, we group 928 as 900 + 20 + 8.

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 20 in Roman Numerals - XX
   
• 8 in Roman Numerals - VIII

So, 928 is written as CMXXVIII 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 928. 

• Addition rule: The addition method is used when a larger number is followed by a smaller numeral. Here the values are added. For example, VIII = V + III = 5 + 3 = 8.

• Grouping method: Here the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 928 = 900 + 20 + 8 = CMXXVIII.

• Repetition rule: Certain symbols (I, X, C, M) in the Roman numeric system can be repeated only up to three times. For example, III = 3 (I is repeated three times to represent the number 3).

• Subtraction rule: The subtraction method is used when a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral. For example, IX = X - I = 10 - 1 = 9.

• Limitation rule: Symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated in Roman numerals. For example, 10 is written as X, not VV.
