How to Write 401 in Roman Numerals?
To convert 401 in Roman Numerals, we need to represent 401 as the difference of these fundamental symbols. The representation of 400 in terms of 100 will be against the rule of Roman numerals and hence difference is used.
It can be done as 500 – 100 ( 500 = D and 100 = C). Therefor 401 will be;
401 = 400 + 1
401 = (500 – 100) + 1
401 = (D – C) + I.
401 = CDI
CDI = 401.
