CDXXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XXX (30) + IV (4) = 434.
CD and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXXXIV
Why isn't 434 written as CCCCXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 434 is CDXXXIV.
Wrong: CDXXXIIII
Why isn't 434 written as CDXXXIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 434 is CDXXXIV.
Wrong: CCCCXXXIIII
Why isn't 434 written as CCCCXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and IIII are not used: 400 = CD, 4 = IV. Together they make CDXXXIV.
