How LXXIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 74 | LXXIV |
LXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: LXX (70) + IV (4) = 74.
IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.
Common mistakes
Wrong: LXXIIII
Why isn't 74 written as LXXIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 74 is LXXIV.
