CMXCVIII

CMXCVIII is the Roman numeral representation of the number 998. Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and remained the usual way of writing numbers throughout Europe well into the Late Middle Ages. Numbers are represented by combinations of letters from the Latin alphabet. CMXCVIII is composed of the following symbols: C (100), M (1000), X (10), V (5), and I (1). The numeral CMXCVIII can be broken down as follows: C (100) + M (1000) - C (100) + X (10) + C (100) + V (5) + I (1) + I (1) + I (1) = 998. The use of Roman numerals has declined in modern times, with the more efficient Arabic numeral system being used instead. However, Roman numerals continue to be used today in various contexts, such as in the naming of monarchs and popes, the numbering of Super Bowls, and the dating of copyrights.
