What are the Basic Rules to Write Roman Numerals?

  • When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: CX, C > X, so CX = C + X = 100 + 10 = 110
  • When a smaller letter precedes a bigger letter, the letters are subtracted. For example: IV, I < V, so IV = V - I = 5 - 1 = 4
  • When a letter is repeated 2 or 3 times, they get added. For example: MM = M + M = 1000 + 1000 = 2000
  • The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.

XXI Roman Numerals Examples

  1. Example 1: Find the Product of Roman Numerals XXI and LXXXIII.

    Solution:

    XXI = 20 + 1 = 21 and LXXXIII = 80 + 3 = 83
    Now, XXI × LXXXIII = 21 × 83 = 1743
    Since, MDCCXLIII = 1000 + 700 + 40 + 3 = 1743
    Therefore, XXI × LXXXIII = MDCCXLIII

  2. Example 2: Find the Sum of MXC and XXI Roman Numerals.

    Solution:

    MXC = 1000 + 90 = 1090 and XXI = 20 + 1 = 21
    Now, MXC + XXI = 1090 + 21 = 1111
    Since, MCXI = 1000 + 100 + 10 + 1 = 1111
    Therefore, the sum of MXC and XXI roman numerals is MCXI

  3. Example 3: Find the Difference Between XXI and VIII.

    Solution:

    Roman Numeral XXI is equal to 21 and VIII is 8.
    Now, XXI - VIII = 21 - 8 = 13
    Since, 13 = XIII
    Therefore, XXI - VIII = XIII

  4. Example 4: Find the Quotient of 21 and 15.

    Solution:

    The roman numeral XXI is 21 and XV is 15.
    Now, when we divide XXI by XV i.e. 21 ÷ 15, the quotient is 1.
    Since, 1 = I
    Therefore, XXI ÷ XV = I
