How MDCXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 1696 | MDCXCVI |
MDCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DC (600) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 1696.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCLXXXXVI
Why isn't 1696 written as MDCLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1696 is MDCXCVI.
