How MCCXCIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 1294 | MCCXCIV |
MCCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 1294.
XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 1294 written as MCCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1294 is MCCXCIV.
Wrong: MCCXCIIII
Why isn't 1294 written as MCCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 1294 is MCCXCIV.
Wrong: MCCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 1294 written as MCCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make MCCXCIV.
