How MCCXLIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 1244 | MCCXLIV |
MCCXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 1244.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCXXXXIV
Why isn't 1244 written as MCCXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1244 is MCCXLIV.
Wrong: MCCXLIIII
Why isn't 1244 written as MCCXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 1244 is MCCXLIV.
Wrong: MCCXXXXIIII
Why isn't 1244 written as MCCXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make MCCXLIV.
