Total654DCLIV

DCLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + L (50) + IV (4) = 654.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: DCLIIII

Why isn't 654 written as DCLIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 654 is DCLIV.
