CD and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCXCI
Why isn't 3491 written as MMMCCCCXCI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3491 is MMMCDXCI.
Wrong: MMMCDLXXXXI
Why isn't 3491 written as MMMCDLXXXXI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3491 is MMMCDXCI.
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXXXI
Why isn't 3491 written as MMMCCCCLXXXXI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMMCDXCI.
