CM, XC, and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXCIV
Why isn't 2994 written as MMDCCCCXCIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2994 is MMCMXCIV.
Wrong: MMCMLXXXXIV
Why isn't 2994 written as MMCMLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2994 is MMCMXCIV.
Wrong: MMCMXCIIII
Why isn't 2994 written as MMCMXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 2994 is MMCMXCIV.
