DX (subtracted)CI
five hundred ninety-one
How DXCI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 1 | I |
| Total | 591 | DXCI |
DXCI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XC (90) + I (1) = 591.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DLXXXXI
Why isn't 591 written as DLXXXXI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 591 is DXCI.
