How MDLXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 1569 | MDLXIX |
MDLXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + D (500) + LX (60) + IX (9) = 1569.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDLXVIIII
Why isn't 1569 written as MDLXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1569 is MDLXIX.
