Question

Write the roman- numerals for the following $76$.

Answer 1

Hint: To solve this problem we need to know the concept of Roman- numerals. The first step is to find the place value of the numbers. After doing that we will have to find the roman numeral for each number we got after expansion. And then the last step is to combine the whole number together.

Complete step by step answer:
The question asks us to change the natural number $76$ into roman- numeral form. The first step in the conversion is to split the number into the place values (ones, tens, hundreds, etc. ) . On splitting the number into the place value, at tens place we have $70$ and at ones place we have $6$ writing it mathematically we get:
$76=70+6$
After the expansion we need to convert the number into roman numeral form individually. Firstly we would convert $70$ into roman. $70$ in roman form is written as $\text{LXX}$ , where $\text{L}$ is a roman numeral form for $50$ and $\text{X}$ is the roman numeral form for $10$. Since $70$ is written as
$\Rightarrow 70=50+10+10$
So he roman numbers of these numbers are written individually as
$\Rightarrow \text{LXX}$
Now, we would convert the ones place value $6$ into the roman- numeral form. $6$ is written as
$\Rightarrow 5+1$
On putting the roman value for each we get:
$\Rightarrow \text{VI}$
Here $\text{V}$ is the roman form for $5$ and $\text{I}$ is the roman form for $1$ .
On combining each part of $76$ we get
\[\Rightarrow \text{LXXVI}\]

$\therefore $ The roman- numerals for the following number $76$ is $\text{LXXVI}$ .

Note: To solve the problems like this we need to have knowledge of roman- numerals for some numbers. The important and basic seven symbols are I, V,X, L, C, D and M which means 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500 and 1000 respectively. In the rules for formation of Roman-numerals system no symbol or digit is assigned for 0.
