DCXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XX (20) + IV (4) = 624.

IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.

Common mistakes

Wrong: DCXXIIII

Why isn't 624 written as DCXXIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 624 is DCXXIV.
