CCXXVIII

CCXXVIII is a Roman numeral. It represents the number 228 in the Arabic numeral system. The Roman numeral system uses letters to denote numerical values. The letter C represents 100, X represents 10, and V represents 5. The numeral CCXXVIII is constructed by combining these symbols. Two Cs together represent 200 (100 + 100). Two Xs following the Cs represent 20 (10 + 10). Finally, the V and three Is represent 8 (5 + 1 + 1 + 1). Therefore, CCXXVIII equals 100 + 100 + 10 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1, which sums to 228. Roman numerals are typically written from largest value to smallest value, and this additive principle applies in the construction of CCXXVIII. This numeral would have been used in ancient Rome for counting, recording dates, or indicating quantities.
