How DLXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 589 | DLXXXIX |
DLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 589.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 589 written as DLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 589 is DLXXXIX.
Wrong: DXXCIX
Why isn't 589 written as DXXCIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 589 is DLXXXIX.
