How to Convert 100 into Roman Numerals

Roman numerals are made up of seven letters: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). To write a number like 100, we combine these letters starting from the largest value and working down to the smallest.

Let’s break 100 into parts and build the Roman numeral step by step:

100 fits into what’s left of the number one time.
That means we add C to our Roman numeral because one × one hundred equals 100.

Final Answer

After combining all the parts, the Roman numeral for 100 is:

C

Tip: If a smaller numeral appears before a larger one (like IV), it means you subtract. If a smaller one comes after a larger one (like VI), it means you add. You’ll see both styles when needed.
