How CCXC is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Total | 290 | CCXC |
CCXC is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XC (90) = 290.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCLXXXX
Why isn't 290 written as CCLXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 290 is CCXC.
