MCXVIII

MCXVIII is a Roman numeral that represents the number 1118. The numeral is constructed by combining the symbols M, C, X, and V III. The symbol M represents 1000, C represents 100, X represents 10, V represents 5, and I represents 1. In Roman numerals, when a symbol of smaller value is placed after a symbol of larger value, their values are added. Thus, MCXVIII is calculated as M (1000) + C (100) + X (10) + V (5) + I (1) + I (1) + I (1), which equals 1118.

The Roman numeral system was used in ancient Rome and remained in common use for centuries. It is a numeral system that employs letters from the Latin alphabet to represent numbers. The basic symbols are I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). The system follows specific rules for combining these symbols to form different numbers, including the additive principle and the subtractive principle. MCXVIII adheres to these rules, with the larger values appearing before the smaller values, indicating addition.
