Convert 1934 to a Roman numeral

Roman Numeral Values are:
I = 1, V = 5, X = 10
L = 50, C = 100, D = 500,
M = 1,000

We start with a total letter value of 1934

Subtract 1934 by 1 of letter M

+ M = M

1 of the letter M gives us

1 * 1000 = 1000

Total: 1934 - 1000 = 934


Subtract 934 by each 1 of D

We want 3 or less of a letter

3 of letter C won't work

We need a special subtraction.

We take 1 letter of C

Write it in front of the next letter M

M + CM = MCM

1 letter C and 1 letter M gives us

1000 - 100 = 900

Total: 934 - 900 = 34


Subtract 34 by 3 of letter X

MCM + XXX = MCMXXX

3 of the letter X gives us

3 * 10 = 30

Total: 34 - 30 = 4


Subtract 4from 4 of I

We want 3 or less of a letter

We need to subtract

Write the next letter of V in front of I

MCMXXX + IV = MCMXXXIV

1 letter I and 1 letter V gives us:

5 - 1 = 4

Total: 4 - 4 = 0


Since our total = 0, we have our answer


MCMXXXIV
