Roman numerals originated in ancient Rome and use combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet to signify values. The letters used are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Writing the number 400 requires a specific subtractive rule.
C represents 100.
D represents 500.
Placing a smaller letter before a larger one implies subtraction (C before D means 500 - 100).
To write 400, we need to know the symbols for 100 and 500:
In Roman numerals, you generally cannot repeat a symbol more than three times in a row. So, 400 is not written as CCCC. Instead, you subtract 100 (C) from 500 (D) by placing the smaller value before the larger value.
Therefore, 400 in Roman Numerals is CD.
400 is CD, and 4 is IV. Together, 404 is written as CDIV.
