Total774DCCLXXIV

DCCLXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + LXX (70) + IV (4) = 774.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: DCCLXXIIII

Why isn't 774 written as DCCLXXIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 774 is DCCLXXIV.
