How XXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 30 | XXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 39 | XXXIX |
XXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: XXX (30) + IX (9) = 39.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: XXXVIIII
Why isn't 39 written as XXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 39 is XXXIX.
