How DCCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 709 | DCCIX |
DCCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + IX (9) = 709.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCVIIII
Why isn't 709 written as DCCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 709 is DCCIX.
