How MCDXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 1495 | MCDXCV |
MCDXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + V (5) = 1495.
CD and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MVD
Why isn't 1495 written as MVD?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: M (1000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + V (5) = MCDXCV.
Wrong: MCDVC
Why isn't 1495 written as MCDVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: M (1000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + V (5) = MCDXCV.
Wrong: MCCCCXCV
Why isn't 1495 written as MCCCCXCV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1495 is MCDXCV.
