What is 1994 in Roman numerals?

Question

I really appreciate all your answers :)

1994 would be MDCCCCXC

Answer 1

1994 = MCMXCIV

Answer 2

MDCDXCIV

M = 1000, D = 500, C = 100, X = 10, V = 5, I = 1

Four of the same Roman numeral cannot be written consecutively, so a value like 4 has to be written IV, with the Roman numeral following the 1 subtracted from the 5.

So IV = 4 = 5 - 1.

By this same rule, CD = 400 = 500 - 100.

XC = 90 = 100 - 10.

M (1000) + D (500) + CD (400) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 1994.

So the long version of your answer is MDCDXCIV.

Of course, you could also add 1000 and 900 and 90 and 4, making MCMXCIV.

Answer 3

MCMXCIV

In Roman numerals, you are only allowed 3 identical symbols in a row. If you need 4 of something, you use the subtractive method. You place a lower value symbol to the left of a larger one. This indicates that the lower value is subtracted from the larger one. For example, if you need to write 4 you use IV (5-1), not IIII (1+1+1+1).

M=1000 CM= 900 (1000-100) XC=90 (100-10) IV=4 (5-1)
1000 + 900 + 90 + 4 = 1994

Answer 4

MCMXCIV

M=1000 C=100 X=10 V=5 I=1

Answer 5

Break it up into powers of ten:
M = 1000
CM = 900
XC = 90
IV = 4

MCMXCIV
