How CCCXLIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |

CCCXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 344.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCXXXXIV
Why isn't 344 written as CCCXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 344 is CCCXLIV.
Wrong: CCCXLIIII
Why isn't 344 written as CCCXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 344 is CCCXLIV.
Wrong: CCCXXXXIIII
Why isn't 344 written as CCCXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make CCCXLIV.
