How CCCXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 396 | CCCXCVI |
CCCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 396.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCLXXXXVI
Why isn't 396 written as CCCLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 396 is CCCXCVI.
