How CCCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 309 | CCCIX |
CCCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + IX (9) = 309.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCVIIII
Why isn't 309 written as CCCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 309 is CCCIX.
