DCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 696.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: DCLXXXXVI

Why isn't 696 written as DCLXXXXVI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 696 is DCXCVI.
