How CCCXCI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 1 | I |
| Total | 391 | CCCXCI |
CCCXCI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XC (90) + I (1) = 391.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCLXXXXI
Why isn't 391 written as CCCLXXXXI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 391 is CCCXCI.
