How MDXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 1596 | MDXCVI |
MDXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + D (500) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 1596.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDLXXXXVI
Why isn't 1596 written as MDLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1596 is MDXCVI.
