How CDIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 404 | CDIV |
CDIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + IV (4) = 404.
CD and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCIV
Why isn't 404 written as CCCCIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 404 is CDIV.
Wrong: CDIIII
Why isn't 404 written as CDIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 404 is CDIV.
Wrong: CCCCIIII
Why isn't 404 written as CCCCIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and IIII are not used: 400 = CD, 4 = IV. Together they make CDIV.
