What is the meaning of roman numerals (X)(C)CCCX in English? How to convert it and make the translation into a Hindu Arabic number?

How to validate and convert the Roman number (X)(C)CCCX?

To validate and convert the Roman number (X)(C)CCCX into its decimal equivalent in base ten - the so called Hindu Arabic number used every day, we must identify its individual symbols and groups. Detailed explanations below

1. The Roman numerals used to make the conversion:

X = 10; C = 100; (X) = 10,000; (C) = 100,000;

» The basic reading rules of the Roman numerals

• The numerals and the groups of numerals written in subtractive notation must be written from left to right, in descending order of their values, from high to low. Some symbols (letters) can be repeated up to 3 times in a row: I, X, C, M, (X), (C), (M).
• A group of Roman numerals written in subtractive notation = a group of two numerals (two letters), one of a lower value preceding another larger one. The only allowed subtractive groups are these: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, CM, M(V), M(X), (X)(L), (X)(C), (C)(D), (C)(M). To calculate the value of a group subtract the value of the first symbol from the value of the second. Example: IV = V - I = 5 - 1 = 4.
• » The subtractive notation that is used when writing with Roman numerals
• A group of Roman numerals written in additive notation = a group of two or more numerals (letters), either of equal value or sorted in descending order of their values from high to low and from left to right. To calculate the value of the group, add up the values of the symbols that make up the group. Example: II = I + I = 2.
• » The additive notation that is used when writing with Roman numerals

(X)(C)CCCX is a valid Roman numeral.

(X)(C)CCCX meets all the rules for writing Roman numerals.

2. Identify the groups of symbols written in subtractive notation.

Identify and calculate the value of each group of any two symbols (any two letters) written in subtractive notation:

(X)(C)CCCX

(X)(C) = (C) - (X) = 100,000 - 10,000 = 90,000;

3. Calculate the value of the Roman number.

Add up all the values of the individual Roman numerals and of the groups of numerals written in subtractive notation:

(X)(C)CCCX =

(X)(C) + C + C + C + X =

90,000 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 10 =

90,310

(X)(C)CCCX is a valid Roman numeral.

(X)(C)CCCX = 90,310

(X)(C)CCCX written as an Arabic number (the numbers we use every day)

(X)(C)CCCX is a group of numerals written in both additive and subtractive notation.

Online converter of Roman numerals to Hindu-Arabic numbers. What is the meaning of the Roman numbers?

Enter the Roman numeral (Roman number): I = 1; V = 5; X = 10; L = 50; C = 100; D = 500; M = 1,000(V) = 5,000; (X) = 10,000; (L) = 50,000; (C) = 100,000; (D) = 500,000; (M) = 1,000,000

The set of basic symbols of the Roman system of writing numerals

The major set of symbols on which the rest of the Roman numberals were built:

• I = 1 (one); V = 5 (five);

• X = 10 (ten); L = 50 (fifty);

• C = 100 (one hundred);

• D = 500 (five hundred);

• M = 1,000 (one thousand);

For larger numbers:

• (*) V = 5,000 or |V| = 5,000 (five thousand); see below why we prefer this notation: (V) = 5,000.

• (*) X = 10,000 or |X| = 10,000 (ten thousand); see below why we prefer this notation: (X) = 10,000.

• (*) L = 50,000 or |L| = 50,000 (fifty thousand); see below why we prefer this notation: (L) = 50,000.

• (*) C = 100,000 or |C| = 100,000 (one hundred thousand); see below why we prefer this notation: (C) = 100,000.

• (*) D = 500,000 or |D| = 500,000 (five hundred thousand); see below why we prefer this notation: (D) = 500,000.

• (*) M = 1,000,000 or |M| = 1,000,000 (one million); see below why we prefer this notation: (M) = 1,000,000.

(*) These numbers were written with an overline (a bar above) or between two vertical lines. Instead, we prefer to write these larger numerals between brackets, ie: "(" and ")", because:

• 1) when compared to the overline - it is easier for the computer users to add brackets around a letter than to add the overline to it and
• 2) when compared to the vertical lines - it avoids any possible confusion between the vertical line "|" and the Roman numeral "I" (1).

(*) An overline (a bar over the symbol), two vertical lines or two brackets around the symbol indicate "1,000 times". See below...

Logic of the numerals written between brackets, ie: (L) = 50,000; the rule is that the initial numeral, in our case, L, was multiplied by 1,000: L = 50 => (L) = 50 × 1,000 = 50,000. Simple.

(*) At the beginning Romans did not use numbers larger than 3,999; as a result they had no symbols in their system for these larger numbers, they were added on later and for them various different notations were used, not necessarily the ones we've just seen above.

Thus, initially, the largest number that could be written using Roman numerals was:

• MMMCMXCIX = 3,999.
