Total234CCXXXIV

CCXXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XXX (30) + IV (4) = 234.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCXXXIIII

Why isn't 234 written as CCXXXIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 234 is CCXXXIV.
