964 in Roman Numerals

Royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, feature Roman numerals. Have you noticed these symbols (like I and II) and wondered what they represent? Those are Roman numerals. Earlier people used fingers, sticks, bones, etc., to count. As life became more complex, a standard form was needed. 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.

In Roman numerals, we use CMLXIV to represent 964, where CM is 900, LX is 60, and IV is 4. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.

There are certain basic rules for writing 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, XI → X + I → 10 + 1 = 11.

Rule 2: Repetition Method

To write a large number, certain Roman numerals can be repeated up to three times. For example, III → 3.

Rule 3: Subtraction Method

If a small number precedes a larger 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

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.

Let’s learn how to write 964 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 964 in Roman numerals using the expansion method.

To write 964 in Roman numerals, follow the steps:

Step 1: Break the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 964, we write it as 900 + 60 + 4.

Step 2: Convert the numbers into Roman numerals.

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM
   
• 60 in Roman numerals - LX
   
• 4 in Roman numerals - IV

Step 3: Combine the Roman numerals together. Therefore, 964 in Roman numerals is CM (900) + LX (60) + IV (4) = CMLXIV.

When writing a large number in Roman numerals, we group the number. To write 964 in Roman numerals, we group 964 as 900 + 60 + 4.

• 900 in Roman numerals - CM
   
• 60 in Roman numerals - LX
   
• 4 in Roman numerals - IV

So, 964 is written as CMLXIV 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 964. 

• Addition Rule: The addition method is used when a larger numeral is followed by a smaller numeral; the values are added.

• Grouping Method: Here, numbers are grouped based on their place value and then converted into Roman numerals. For example, 964 = 900 + 60 + 4 = CMLXIV.

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

• Subtraction Rule: When a smaller numeral precedes a larger numeral, subtract the smaller value from the larger value.

• Place Value: Understanding the place value helps break down numbers into hundreds, tens, and ones for conversion into Roman numerals.
