<p>There are certain basic rules for writing a<a>number</a>in Roman Numerals. In this section, let’s discuss some basic rules to remember 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, DCLXXXV → D + C + L + X + X + V → 500 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 685</p>
12
-
<h3><strong>Rule 2: Repetition Method</strong></h3>
13
-
<p>Certain Roman Numerals can be repeated up to three times to form larger numbers. For example, XXX → 30.</p>
14
-
<h3><strong>Rule 3: Subtraction Method</strong></h3>
15
-
<p>If a smaller number precedes a larger number, it is subtracted from the larger number. For example, IV → V - I → 5 - 1 = 4</p>
16
-
<h3><strong>Rule 4: Limitation Rule</strong></h3>
17
-
<p>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 DDD for 1500; instead, we use MD.</p>

<h3>685 in Roman Numeral by Expansion Method</h3>
25
-
<p>In the expansion method, numbers are broken down based on their<a>place value</a>. Here’s how to write 685 in Roman numerals using the expansion method. To write 685 in Roman Numerals, follow these steps:</p>
26
-
<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Break the number based on place value: hundreds, tens, and ones. For 685, we write it as 500 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5</p>
27
-
<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Convert the number into Roman Numerals:</p>
28
-
<ul><li>500 in Roman Numerals - D </li>
29
-
<li>100 in Roman Numerals - C </li>
30
-
<li>50 in Roman Numerals - L </li>
31
-
<li>10 in Roman Numerals - X </li>
32
-
<li>5 in Roman Numerals - V</li>
33
-
</ul><p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Combine the Roman Numerals together. Therefore, 685 in Roman Numerals is D (500) + C (100) + L (50) + X (10) + X (10) + V (5) = DCLXXXV</p>
34
-
<h3>685 in Roman Numeral by Grouping Method</h3>
35
-
<p>When writing a large number in Roman Numerals, we can group the number. To write 685 in Roman Numerals, we group it as 500 + 100 + 50 + 10 + 10 + 5</p>
36
-
<ul><li>500 in Roman Numerals - D </li>
37
-
<li>100 in Roman Numerals - C </li>
38
-
<li>50 in Roman Numerals - L </li>
39
-
<li>10 in Roman Numerals - X </li>
40
-
<li>5 in Roman Numerals - V</li>
41
-
</ul><p>So, 685 is written as DCLXXXV in Roman Numerals.</p>

<p>The difference between the completion and the start year gives the duration of construction.</p>
50
-
<p>DCLXXXV = 685</p>
51
-
<p>DCLXV = 665</p>
52
-
<p>685 - 665 = 20</p>
53

-
<p>Okay, lets begin</p>
58
-
<p>Each department receives CXXXVII scrolls.</p>
59
-
<h3>Explanation</h3>
60
-
<p>To find the number of scrolls each department receives, divide the total number of scrolls by the number of departments.</p>
61
-
<p>DCLXXXV = 685</p>
62
-
<p>V = 5</p>
63
-
<p>685 / 5 = 137</p>
64
-
<p>137 in Roman numerals is CXXXVII.</p>
65
-
<p>Well explained 👍</p>
