How XIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 10 | X |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 14 | XIV |
XIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: X (10) + IV (4) = 14.
IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.
Common mistakes
Wrong: XIIII
Why isn't 14 written as XIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 14 is XIV.
