CCXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 244.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCXXXXIV
Why isn't 244 written as CCXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 244 is CCXLIV.
Wrong: CCXLIIII
Why isn't 244 written as CCXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 244 is CCXLIV.
Wrong: CCXXXXIIII
Why isn't 244 written as CCXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make CCXLIV.
