Past and Present • Romans used a number system for commerce • Initially began by using tally marks • Still used today in different ways
Roman vs. Arabic Numerals Arabic numbers are Used but not in standard for today everyday math foundation is 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 the base ten I, V, X, L, C, D, M system numbers can be no symbol for zero repeated more than 3 times
The Basics of Roman Numerals I = one (1) V = five (5) X = ten (10) L = fifty (50) C = one hundred (100) D = five hundred (500) M = one thousand (1,000)
Rules for Writing Roman Numerals 1) Letters should be arranged from largest to smallest -1510 is written MDX, largest to smallest 2) Only powers of ten can be repeated. 3) Letters can not be repeated more than 3 times in a row except for I -100 is written LL, not XXXXXXXXXX
Rules continued……. 4) Numbers can be written using subtraction with the first letter being smaller than the letter that follows (the smaller number is written to the left of the larger number) Example: -Nine (9) is written as IX (1 taken away from 10 or 1-10/10-1) -nine hundred and ninety is written as (10 taken away from 1,000) + (100-10) XM + XC = XMXC -249 is written as 100+100+ (50-10) + (10-1) = C C XL IX CCXLIX - How would you write 40, 92, 499?
When in Rome, do as the Romans do!! Abide by the customs of a society when one is a visitor.
I = one (1) V = five (5) X = ten (10) L = fifty (50) C = one hundred (100) D = five hundred (500) M = one thousand (1,000) Practice 515 = ? 1005 = ? 32 = ? *993 = ? *19 = ? Practice Number Conversions
Answers 515 = DXV 1005 = MV 32 = XXXII *993 = (1000-10) + (100-10) + 3 XM XC III = XMXCIII *19 = 10 + (10-1) X IX = XIX
Adding the Roman Way Add 23 + 58 = show all your work using Roman Numerals
Adding the Roman Way How did they do that? Step 1. 23 + 58 Sept 2. XXIII + LVIII Sept 3. XXIIILVII Sept 4. LXXVIIIIII Sept 5. LXXVVI Sept 6. LXXXI Sept 7. 23 + 58 = LXXXI
Adding the Roman Way 77+ 32 = 345+60 = CCLVI + LXXXII = **LVI + XIX=
Answer 77+ 32 = CIX CCLVI + LXXXII = CCCXXXVIII LVI + XIX = LXXV
