How MDCXCIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 1693 | MDCXCIII |
MDCXCIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DC (600) + XC (90) + III (3) = 1693.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCLXXXXIII
Why isn't 1693 written as MDCLXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1693 is MDCXCIII.
