1991 in Roman Numerals

1991 in Roman numerals is MCMXCI. To convert 1991 in Roman Numerals, we will write 1991 in the expanded form, i.e. 1991 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (100 - 10) + 1 thereafter replacing the transformed numbers with their respective roman numerals, we get 1991 = M + (M - C) + (C - X) + I = MCMXCI. In this article, we will explain how to correctly transform 1991 in Roman numerals.

• 1991 = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 1
• Roman Numerals = M + CM + XC + I
• 1991 in Roman Numerals = MCMXCI

Roman numerals for 1991 can be obtained by using the method given below:
In this method, we break 1991 into the least expandable form, write their respective roman letter and add/subtract them, i.e. 1991 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (100 - 10) + 1 = M + (M - C) + (C - X) + I = MCMXCI.
Therefore, the value of 1991 in roman numerals is MCMXCI.

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: CI, C > I, so CI = C + I = 100 + 1 = 101.
• 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: MM = M + M = 1000 + 1000 = 2000
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
