How XLIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 44 | XLIV |
XLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: XL (40) + IV (4) = 44.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: XXXXIV
Why isn't 44 written as XXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 44 is XLIV.
Wrong: XLIIII
Why isn't 44 written as XLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 44 is XLIV.
Wrong: XXXXIIII
Why isn't 44 written as XXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make XLIV.
