Roman Numerals for Numbers Related to Number 30

Here are Roman numerals close to 30:

30 = 10  + 10 + 10 = XXX 

31 = 10  + 10 + 10 + 1 = XXXI 

32 = 10  + 10 + 10  + 2 = XXXII 

33 = 10  + 10 + 10  + 3 = XXXIII

34 = 10  + 10 + 10  + 4 = XXXIV

35 = 10  + 10 + 10  + 5 = XXXV

36 = 10 + 10 + 10  + 6 = XXXVI 

37 = 10 + 10  + 10 + 7 = XXXVII

38 = 10 + 10  + 10 + 8 = XXXVIII

39 = 10 + 10  + 10 + 9 = XXXIX

40 = 50 – 10 = XL

  

Basic Rules of Writing Roman Numerals

• A symbol is added to itself if repeated. Example: II = 2, XX = 20, XXX = 30

• A symbol can be repeated only 3 times. Example: XXX = 30, CC = 200
  Symbols V(5), L(50), and D(500) are never repeated.

• If a smaller symbol comes after a bigger one, we add.
  Example: VI = 5 + 1 = 6

• If a smaller symbol precedes a larger one, we subtract.
  Example: IX = 10 - 1 = 9

• Symbols V, L, and D are never subtracted.
  I can be subtracted only from V and X.
  X can be subtracted only from L, C, and M.

 

Solved Examples on 30 in Roman Numerals

Example 1: Find the difference between LXX(70) and XL(40) in Roman numerals?

Solution: We know the value of LXX = 70 and XL = 40.

By subtracting the numeric values of LXX and XL we get: 70 – 40 = 30.
As, 30 is written as XXX in Roman numerals

Therefore, LXX – XL = XXX.

 

Example 2: What is the value of XVIII(18) + XII(12) in Roman numerals?

Solution: First, write the value of XVIII and XII in numbers:

XVIII = 18 and XII = 12

Now add them to get their sum: 18 + 12 = 30

30 in Roman numerals is XXX.

Therefore, XVIII + XII = XXX.

 

Example 3: Multiply  XV(15) by II(2) and express the result in Roman numerals.

Solution: The value of XV = 15 and II = 2 

By multiplying the values, we get: 15 X 2 = 30

Therefore, the result of XV multiplied by II is XXX. 

 

Example 4: Divide CXX(120) by IV(4) and write the answer in Roman form.

Solution: The value of CXX = 120 and IV = 4

By dividing the 120 by 4, we get: 120 ÷ 4 = 30

Therefore, CXX  ÷ IV = XXX.
