CCCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + IV (4) = 304.

IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCCIIII

Why isn't 304 written as CCCIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 304 is CCCIV.
