DXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 544.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DXXXXIV
Why isn't 544 written as DXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 544 is DXLIV.
Wrong: DXLIIII
Why isn't 544 written as DXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 544 is DXLIV.
Wrong: DXXXXIIII
Why isn't 544 written as DXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make DXLIV.
