How DCXCIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|

DCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 694.
XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 694 written as DCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 694 is DCXCIV.
Wrong: DCXCIIII
Why isn't 694 written as DCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 694 is DCXCIV.
Wrong: DCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 694 written as DCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make DCXCIV.
