How CCLIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 254 | CCLIV |
CCLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + L (50) + IV (4) = 254.
IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCLIIII
Why isn't 254 written as CCLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 254 is CCLIV.
