Steps converting 271 in Roman Numerals
We break 271 into the least expandable form, write their respective roman letter, and add/subtract them
= 200, 70, 1
= (100 + 100), (50 + 10 + 10), (1)
= (CC) (LXX) (I)
As you can see, we can break down 271 by seeing which of the biggest numbers fit and then finding smaller ones to add up to/subtract while following the rules explained below. As a result, we see that 271 in Roman Numerals is CCLXXI.
Rules
- Basic Symbols: Use the basic Roman numeral symbols:
- I = 1
- V = 5
- X = 10
- L = 50
- C = 100
- D = 500
- M = 1000
- Combination: Combine symbols starting from the largest value to the smallest, adding their values. For example:
- VI = 5 + 1 = 6
- XIII = 10 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 13
- Subtraction: Place a smaller numeral before a larger numeral to indicate subtraction. For example:
- IV = 5 - 1 = 4
- IX = 10 - 1 = 9
- XL = 50 - 10 = 40
- XC = 100 - 10 = 90
- CD = 500 - 100 = 400
- CM = 1000 - 100 = 900
- Repetition: Do not repeat a numeral more than three times in a row. Instead, use subtraction:
- III = 3 (three I's)
- XXX = 30 (three X's)
- 40 is not XXXX but XL
- Order: Write numerals from left to right, starting with the largest value and moving to the smallest. Ensure that you use the proper subtraction rules where applicable.
