How DXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 596 | DXCVI |
DXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 596.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DLXXXXVI
Why isn't 596 written as DLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 596 is DXCVI.
