How to Write CXXIV Roman Numerals in Numbers?

To write CXXIV Roman numerals in numbers, we can use two different methods. 

I. Expansion Method

II. Grouping Method

Method 1: Expansion Method

• Break the CXXIV Roman numerals into parts.

• Replace each Roman numeral with its numerical value as per place value.

• Add all of these numbers together.

 

In this method, we have to first write CXXIV in expanded form as  C + X + X + (V – I) 

and then add/subtract each number individually. i.e.,= 100 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 124

 

Method 2: Grouping Method

In the second method, we can pair numbers in groups and then consider them for addition/subtraction. 

 

For instance, CXXIV can be written in groups as 

C + XX + IV

 

Now, replace each numeral with its numerical value and add: 100 + 20 + 4 = 124.

Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals 

There are important rules that should be followed to write and convert Roman numerals into numbers correctly. They involve understanding the placement and repetition of letters and symbols. As Roman numerals apply both addition and subtraction to represent numbers, it’s essential to follow the fundamental rules that govern Roman numeral construction to ensure accuracy.

 

• No numeral can appear more than three times in a row (e.g., XX = 20, but 4 is IV).

• Smaller numerals before larger ones indicate subtraction (e.g., IX = 9).

• Smaller numerals after larger ones indicate addition (e.g., VI = 6).

• Only certain pairs use the subtraction rule, such as:

I before V and X

X before L and C

These basic rules help avoid common mistakes when writing Roman numerals.

 

Examples- CXXIV Roman Numerals

 

1. Write the numerical value of CXXIV Roman numeral.

 

Answer: To write CXXIV Roman numeral in numerical value, we first need to break it into smaller parts and then add them as: C + X + X + (V – 1) = 100 + 10 + 10 + (5 - 1) = 124

 

2. Determine the value of CXXIV – CXX.

 

Answer: We know that, 

CXXIV = C + X + X + IV = 100 + 10 + 10 + 4 =124

CXX = C +  X + X = 100 + 10 + 10 = 120

 

So, CXXIV – CXX = 124 –120 = 4

 

Therefore, CXXIV – CXX = IV

 

3. What is the sum of C + XXIV?

 

Answer: C = 100 and XXIV = 24, So, C + XXIV = CXXIV.

 

Conclusion

Roman numbers are part of an ancient number system that is still in use. It originated in ancient Rome. It uses a combination of letters and specific rules for addition and subtraction to write numbers. By learning these rules and practicing examples, students can easily interpret the Roman numerals in daily life. 

FAQs on CXXIV Roman Numerals

1. Write the numerical value of CXXIV Roman numeral.

Answer: To write CXXIV Roman numeral in numerical value, we first need to break it into smaller parts and then add them as: C + X + X + X + IV = 100 + 10 + 10 + 4 = 124

2. Determine the value of CXX + VI.

Answer: We know that, 

CXX = C + X + X = 100 + 10 + 10 =120

VI = 6

 

So, CXX + VI = 120 + 6 = 126

 

Therefore, CXX + VI = CXXVI

3. What is the sum of C + XXIV?

Answer: C = 100 and XXIV = 24, So, C + XXIV = CXXIV.

4. How to write 100, 500, and 1000 in Roman numerals?

Answer:

100 = C

500 = D
