937 in Roman Numerals

The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on. 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. 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 CMXXXVII to represent 937, where CM is 900, XXX is 30, and VII is 7. 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, VII → V + I + I → 5 + 1 + 1 = 7

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, there are certain Roman numerals that can be repeated three times. 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, 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 won't write DDD for 1500; instead, we use MD.

Let’s now learn how to write 937 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 937 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 937 in Roman numerals, follow these steps,

Step 1: The number is broken based on the place value. Place values are hundreds, tens, ones, etc. For 937, we write it as 900 + 30 + 7

Step 2: Converting the number into Roman numerals

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
• 7 in Roman Numerals - VII

Step 3: Combining the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 937 in Roman numerals is CM (900) + XXX (30) + VII (7) = CMXXXVII

When writing a large number into Roman numerals, we group the number.To write 937 in Roman numerals, we group 937 as 900 + 30 + 7

• 900 in Roman Numerals - CM
   
• 30 in Roman Numerals - XXX
   
• 7 in Roman Numerals - VII

So, 937 is written as CMXXXVII 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 937

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a large number is followed by a smaller numeral, and their values are added. For example, VII = V + I + I = 5 + 1 + 1 = 7.

• Grouping Method: Here, the given numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into their Roman numerals. For example, 937 = 900 + 30 + 7 = CMXXXVII.

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

• Subtraction Rule: A smaller numeral placed before a larger numeral indicates subtraction. For example, CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.

• Place Value: The numerical value given to a digit by its position in a number. For example, in 937, the place values are 900, 30, and 7.
