CD and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXIV
Why isn't 2474 written as MMCCCCLXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2474 is MMCDLXXIV.
Wrong: MMCDLXXIIII
Why isn't 2474 written as MMCDLXXIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 2474 is MMCDLXXIV.
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXIIII
Why isn't 2474 written as MMCCCCLXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and IIII are not used: 400 = CD, 4 = IV. Together they make MMCDLXXIV.
