CXC is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: C (100) + XC (90) = 190.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CLXXXX

Why isn't 190 written as CLXXXX?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 190 is CXC.
