Let's break down the Roman numeral MMMXXXVII to understand how it corresponds to the number 3037.
MMMXXXVII = M + M + M + X + X + X + V + I + I
MMMXXXVII = 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1
Hence, MMMXXXVII equals 3037.
When writing Roman numerals, there are a few rules that we need to follow based on the Roman numerals we are trying to write. In this section, we will learn about the rules when writing Roman numerals and how to represent them.
Rule 1: Addition
When a larger symbol is followed by a smaller symbol, we add the numerals to each other.
For example, in XIII, we have 10 + 3 = 13
Rule 2: Repetition
A symbol that is repeated three times in continuation increases the value of the numeral.
For example, CCC = 300
Rule 3: Subtraction
We use the subtraction method when a larger symbol follows a smaller symbol.
For example, XC = 90 (which is 100 – 10)
Rule 4: Limitation
Symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols, such as V, L, and D cannot be repeated more than once.
For example, 100 is represented as C and not LL
Roman numerals were used in ancient Rome and are made by combining letters from the Latin alphabet: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Even though they look different from our usual numbers, they work in a similar way.
For example, MMMXXXVII is a Roman numeral that stands for 3037.
