How MDXC is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Total | 1590 | MDXC |
MDXC is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + D (500) + XC (90) = 1590.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDLXXXX
Why isn't 1590 written as MDLXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1590 is MDXC.
