MCCCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CCC (300) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 1396.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MCCCLXXXXVI

Why isn't 1396 written as MCCCLXXXXVI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1396 is MCCCXCVI.
