1989 in Roman Numerals

1989 in Roman numerals is MCMLXXXIX. To convert 1989 in Roman Numerals, we will write 1989 in the expanded form, i.e. 1989 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (10 - 1) thereafter replacing the transformed numbers with their respective roman numerals, we get 1989 = M + (M - C) + L + X + X + X + (X - I) = MCMLXXXIX. In this article, we will explain how to correctly transform 1989 in Roman numerals.

• 1989 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (10 - 1)
• Roman Numerals = M + (M - C) + L + X + X + X + (X - I)
• 1989 in Roman Numerals = MCMLXXXIX

Roman numerals for 1989 can be obtained by using the method given below:
In this method, we break 1989 into the least expandable form, write their respective roman letter and add/subtract them, i.e. 1989 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + 50 + 10 + 10 + 10 + (10 - 1) = M + (M - C) + L + X + X + X + (X - I) = MCMLXXXIX.
Therefore, the value of 1989 in roman numerals is MCMLXXXIX.

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: DC, D > C, so DC = D + C = 500 + 100 = 600.
• When a smaller letter precedes a bigger letter, the letters are subtracted. For example: CM, C < M, so CM = M - C = 1000 - 100 = 900.
• When a letter is repeated multiple times, they get added. For example: III = I + I + I = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
