DCXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 644.
XL and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCXXXXIV
Why isn't 644 written as DCXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 644 is DCXLIV.
Wrong: DCXLIIII
Why isn't 644 written as DCXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 644 is DCXLIV.
Wrong: DCXXXXIIII
Why isn't 644 written as DCXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make DCXLIV.
