3 <p>Roman numerals are a way of expressing numbers using symbols. I, V, X, L, C, D, and M are the symbols we use. Roman Numerals are used in royal titles, book names, sequences, and so on. Here we will be discussing Roman Numerals, rules, and examples.</p>

4 <h2>What is 908 in Roman Numerals?</h2>

5 <p>The royal titles, such as Henry I, Henry II, and so on, use Roman Numerals. Have you noticed these names and wondered what these<a>symbols</a>(I and II) represented? Those are the Roman Numerals.</p>

6 <p>Earlier people counted using fingers, sticks, bones, etc. When life became complex, a<a>standard form</a>was required. Ancient Romans used the Roman Numeral system. I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000) are the symbols we use.</p>

7 <p>In Roman Numerals, we use CMVIII to represent 908, where CM is 900 and VIII is 8. Let’s learn more about Roman numerals and how we write them.</p>

8 <h2>Basic Rules for 908 in Roman Numerals</h2>

9 <p>There are certain basic rules to write a<a>number</a>in Roman Numerals. In this section, let’s discuss some basic rules that need to be remembered when writing a number in Roman numerals.</p>

10 <h3><strong>Rule 1: Addition Method</strong></h3>

11 <p>The<a>addition</a>method is used when a smaller number is placed after a larger number. For example, VIII → V + I + I + I → 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 8.</p>

12 <h3><strong>Rule 2: Repetition Method</strong></h3>

13 <p>To write a large number, there are certain Roman Numerals that can be repeated up to three times. III → 3.</p>

14 <h3><strong>Rule 3: Subtraction Method</strong></h3>

15 <p>If a small number is followed by a large number in Roman Numerals, we subtract the smaller number from the large number. For example, CM → M - C → 1000 - 100 = 900.</p>

16 <h3><strong>Rule 4: Limitation Rule</strong></h3>

17 <p>The symbols cannot be repeated more than three times, and some symbols like V, L, and D cannot be repeated. For example, we won't write VV for 10; instead, we use X, and for 8, we write VIII, not IIIIIIII.</p>

45 <p>Correcting the Roman numerals to fit 908, we use CMVIII, but the question asked for DCCC + CX, which is 910, hence CMX is used here.</p>
