What is 8 billion in roman numerals?

Answer 1

The ancient Romans had no real need for such large numbers but if needed they could increase their numerals by a system of brackets and superscripted numerals in a similar way that we use exponents today as follows:-

((DCC))M which would mean 10*1,000*800*1,000 = 8,000,000,000

Note single brackets multiply numerals by 1,000 whereas double brackets multiply numerals by 10,000 and superscripted numerals indicate multiplication by that particular numeral.

Answer 2

In Roman numerals, 8 billion would be represented as "VIII M." The "VIII" represents 8 thousand, and the "M" represents a thousand. Therefore, when combined, "VIII M" signifies 8 billion in Roman numerals.
