Total204CCIV

CCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + IV (4) = 204.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCIIII

Why isn't 204 written as CCIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 204 is CCIV.
