CD and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCLXXXIX
Why isn't 1489 written as MCCCCLXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1489 is MCDLXXXIX.
Wrong: MCDLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1489 written as MCDLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1489 is MCDLXXXIX.
Wrong: MCCCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1489 written as MCCCCLXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make MCDLXXXIX.
