How DXCVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 598 | DXCVIII |
DXCVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = 598.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 598 written as DLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 598 is DXCVIII.
Wrong: DXCIIX
Why isn't 598 written as DXCIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 598 is DXCVIII.
