How ZERO is written in Roman numerals?

There is no sign of Zero in Roman otherwise they would not write xxi for twenty one.

He has told.....upto 100. He never told , from where we should start..ha ha

I already told you they did not know about ZERO. Zero was invented afterwards and then only people came to know about its importance. :)

I was just teasing you yaar..
You couldn't identify it :evil: :evil: :evil: :cheer: :cheer: :laugh: :laugh: :woohoo:

This is known as thinking and finding :woohoo: :woohoo: :laugh: :laugh:[/quote]

You mean Romans never thought of importance of ZERO in numerals. :woohoo:[/quote]

They write X for 10, XX for 20, XXX for 30.
What about 100?[/quote]

Write 'c' for hundred

The decimal system and Arabic number system is based on concept of zero. The Roman numbers are just symbols and not capable of any further mathematical treatment, viz. addition, subtraction, division, multiplication. 'zero' means nothing. Its value is only for mathematical functions and not otherwise. Hence, no symbol for 'nothing' in Roman alphabet.[/quote]

They would write 'C' for hundred that stands for century/100 or Zero it self is in Roman

This is how they write -

Numbers 1 5 10 50 100 500 1000
Roman I V X L C D M

They do every thing symbolically. They are very conservative in approach. I like the way we take half and quarter even Zero is a gift of our people to world, as if we had nothing else to give. You see zero is nothing. :P :P ;) At least half was fine.

You seem to have good knowledge of Romans have you been there in Rome to learn it Suny? :laugh:

Sanjeev Zero is not a roman number as it was invented by Our Indians. It is moved to other countries by us.

Yes Zero was invented by Aryabhatta a renowned mathematician. This was mentioned by a GuptaJi in his book long back. I think BramaGupta.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I think Roman heros not at all want to put zero even in writting????????? :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly: :silly:

And i am really surprised how could someone calulate things without using ZERO> :blink:

Yes, I agree with this.
Zero is discovered by our Indians so it is not in the romans list.
Zero does not have its own Roman numeral.

Nice sharing.

With out zero there is no value for numbers sanjeev.
