MDCCXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DCC (700) + XX (20) + IV (4) = 1724.

IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MDCCXXIIII

Why isn't 1724 written as MDCCXXIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 1724 is MDCCXXIV.
