How CCXCIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |

CCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 294.
XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 294 written as CCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 294 is CCXCIV.
Wrong: CCXCIIII
Why isn't 294 written as CCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 294 is CCXCIV.
Wrong: CCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 294 written as CCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make CCXCIV.
