Total592DXCII

DXCII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XC (90) + II (2) = 592.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: DLXXXXII

Why isn't 592 written as DLXXXXII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 592 is DXCII.
