How DCCLXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 779 | DCCLXXIX |
DCCLXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + LXX (70) + IX (9) = 779.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCLXXVIIII
Why isn't 779 written as DCCLXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 779 is DCCLXXIX.
