Roman Numerals
Great Salt Lake Council
Roman numerals are often used in
marking the anniversary of special events (i.e. the Olympics, The Super Bowl,
etc.). Can you write the Roman numeral for our 75th birthday of Scouting?
Here are some helps if you need them.
The basic symbols are:
I= 1, V= 5, X= 10, L= 50, C= 100, D=
500, M= 1000.
And there are two rules to remember.
Put a number of lesser value before one of greater value to decrease the
amount of the second letter by the amount of the first.
Put a number of lesser value after one
of greater value to increase the amount of the first letter by the amount
of the second.
Here are some examples:
1= I
8= VIII
2= II
9= IX
3= III
10= X
4= IV
40= XL
5= V
94= XCIV
6= VI
1,770= MDCCLXX
7= VII
1,999= MCMXCIX
Now write the Roman numeral for 75:
___________________________
For extra practice, write the Roman
numerals for the following:
98:___________ 301:__________ 1,240:_________
47:___________ 532:__________ 2,945:_________
(Answers: 98:XCVIII 47:XLVII 301:CCCI
532:DXXXII 1,240:MCCXL 2,945:MMCMXLV)
Oh yes
75 = LXXV
