How MCCXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 1295 | MCCXCV |
MCCXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + V (5) = 1295.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCVC
Why isn't 1295 written as MCCVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: M (1000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + V (5) = MCCXCV.
Wrong: MCCLXXXXV
Why isn't 1295 written as MCCLXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1295 is MCCXCV.
