<h2>Basic Rules for Finding 44 in Roman Numerals</h2>

<p><strong>Rule 1: Addition Method -</strong>In the<a>addition</a>method, you will combine different Roman numerals. When a smaller or the same number is placed after the larger number, we will simply add it - XLIV(44) - XL(X(10) - L (50) = 40 ) + IV (4) = XLIV(44)</p>

11
<p>XL(40) + II(2) = XLII(42) XL(40) + III(3) = XLIII(43) We can’t write XXXX for 40 ,it's XL (40)</p>

<p>XL(40) + II(2) = XLII(42) XL(40) + III(3) = XLIII(43) We can’t write XXXX for 40 ,it's XL (40)</p>
12
<p><strong>Rule 3: Subtraction Method -</strong>From the repetition method, we got to know that a symbol can’t be used more than 3 times, then how will we write 40 ? Here in Roman numerals , we will use the<a>subtraction</a>method. If the smaller numeral is placed before the larger numeral, then you have to subtract the smaller numeral from the larger numeral. For example, in XLIV (44), there are two parts: XL (40) and IV (4). Here, 40 is obtained by subtracting 10 from 50 ie (50(L) - X(10) = 40(XL)) and IV ( V(5) - I(1)= 4).Which results in XLIV(44) = XL(40) + IV(4)</p>

<p><strong>Rule 4: Limitation Rule -</strong>In Roman Numerals we can't repeat a number more than 3 times. After that,we have to use different symbols.here you will use<a>addition and subtraction</a>methods. For example - we can't write 4 as IIII, instead we write IV (subtraction method subtracting I(1) from V(5) to get IV(4). For 10, we use X. Here, we can't use VV because there are specific letters assigned to the values, for example (V - 5, X- 10, L - 50, C - 100, D - 500, M - 1000) we have to use these symbols for the specific values. These rules make it easy for us to use the numeral system. </p>

<p><strong>Expansion Method:</strong>In this method, we will break the Roman numeral into smaller parts based on their values and then add them. Here,XLIV(44) is made up<a>of</a> 2 parts that are 40 and 4 . 40 can be written as XL . 4 can be written as IV. Now if we add it XL(40) + IV(4) = XLIV(44).</p>
