How CCCXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 395 | CCCXCV |
CCCXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XC (90) + V (5) = 395.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCVC
Why isn't 395 written as CCCVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CCC (300) + XC (90) + V (5) = CCCXCV.
Wrong: CCCLXXXXV
Why isn't 395 written as CCCLXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 395 is CCCXCV.
