1997 in Roman Numerals

1997 in Roman numerals is MCMXCVII. To convert 1997 in Roman Numerals, we will write 1997 in the expanded form, i.e. 1997 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (100 - 10) + 5 + 1 + 1 thereafter replacing the transformed numbers with their respective roman numerals, we get 1997 = M + (M - C) + (C - X) + V + I + I = MCMXCVII. In this article, we will explain how to correctly transform 1997 in Roman numerals.

• 1997 = 1000 + 900 + 90 + 7
• Roman Numerals = M + CM + XC + VII
• 1997 in Roman Numerals = MCMXCVII

• When a bigger letter precedes a smaller letter, the letters are added. For example: CL, C > L, so CL = C + L = 100 + 50 = 150.
• When a smaller letter precedes a bigger letter, the letters are subtracted. For example: XC, X < C, so XC = C - X = 100 - 10 = 90.
• When a letter is repeated multiple times, they get added. For example: CC = C + C = 100 + 100 = 200
• The same letter cannot be used more than three times in succession.
