Roman Numerals Chart (1 to 1000)
Below is the chart for roman numerals that shows the roman letters from 1 to 1000 such as for 1, 2, 3, …, 10, 11, 20, 30, 50, 100, 500 and 1000. Using the chart, we can easily write roman numbers from 1 to 1000.
Roman Numbers 100 to 1000
After practising the above list, you will be able to find the list of roman numbers from 1 to 1000 as well.
Number | Roman Numeral | Evaluation |
100 | C | 100 |
200 | CC | 100+100 |
300 | CCC | 100+100+100 |
400 | CD | 500-100 |
500 | D | 500 |
600 | DC | 500+100 |
700 | DCC | 500+100+100 |
800 | DCCC | 500+100+100+100 |
900 | CM | 1000-100 |
1000 | M | 1000 |
From the above table, we can see how the roman numbers have been calculated and expressed alphabetically.
Roman Letters
The roman letters are the English alphabets but not all the alphabets are the roman alphabets. There are 23 roman letters out of 26 English alphabets, in which J, U and W are not considered as roman. Hence, the roman letters are:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, V, X, Y and Z.
All these letters are used to represent the roman numbers. For example, the year 2019 is written as MMXIX.
Converting Roman Numerals to Numbers
We can easily convert any numbers into a roman form and conversely, any roman form into any number. Let us understand with the help of an example, Consider a number, 1984
Convert number into the roman form
Break the number 1984 into 1000, 900, 80 and 4, then perform each conversion
As, 1000 + 900 + 80 + 4 = 1984
- 1000 = M
- 900 = CM
- 80 = LXXX
- 4 = IV
1000 + 900 + 80 + 4 = 1984,
Rules for forming the Numbers
- When a symbol appears after a greater symbol, it will be added. For Example- VI = V + I = 5 + 1 = 6
- When a symbol appears before a greater symbol, it will be subtracted. For Example- IX = X – I = 10 – 1 = 9
Tips – Break the number into Thousands, Hundreds, Tens and Ones, and write down each in turn
Convert 1774 to Roman Numerals
Break 1774 into 1000, 700, 70, 4 and then do each conversion
1000 = M
700 = DCC
70 = LXX
4 = IV
1000+700+70+4 = 1774, so 1774 = MDCCLXXIV
Rules for Converting Numbers to Roman Numerals
The three primary rules for writing and reading Roman numerals:
1. A letter can be repeated only for three times, for example XXX = 30, CC = 200, etc.
2. If one or more letters are placed after another letter of greater value, add that amount.
VII = 7 (5 + 2 = 7)
LXXX = 80 (50 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 80)
MCCC = 1300 (1000+100 + 100 + 100 = 1300)
3. If a letter is placed before another letter of greater value, subtract that amount.
CM = 900 (1000 – 100 = 900)
IX = 9 ( 10 – 1 = 9 )
XC = 90 (100 – 10 = 90)
Example for Subtractive Rule
Write | Instead of | For the value of |
IV | IIII | 4 |
IX | VIIII | 9 |
XL | XXXX | 40 |
XC | LXXXX | 90 |
CD | CCCC | 400 |
M | DCCCC | 900 |
