CCXXXII

CCXXXII is a Roman numeral representing the number 232. In the Roman numeral system, C represents 100, X represents 10, and I represents 1. The numeral is constructed by combining these symbols. Two C's represent 200 (C + C = 100 + 100). Three X's represent 30 (X + X + X = 10 + 10 + 10). Two I's represent 2 (I + I = 1 + 1). Therefore, CCXXXII is the sum of these values: 100 + 100 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 1 + 1, which equals 232. Roman numerals were used in ancient Rome for various purposes, including numbering, dating, and inscriptions. While not commonly used for everyday calculations today, they are still encountered in contexts such as clock faces, chapter headings, and regnal numbers.
