How LIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 54 | LIV |
LIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: L (50) + IV (4) = 54.
IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.
Common mistakes
Wrong: LIIII
Why isn't 54 written as LIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 54 is LIV.
