Total594DXCIV

DXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 594.

XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.

Common mistakes

Wrong: DLXXXXIV

Why isn't 594 written as DLXXXXIV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 594 is DXCIV.

Wrong: DXCIIII

Why isn't 594 written as DXCIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 594 is DXCIV.

Wrong: DLXXXXIIII

Why isn't 594 written as DLXXXXIIII?

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make DXCIV.
