How DCCLXXXIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 784 | DCCLXXXIV |
DCCLXXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + LXXX (80) + IV (4) = 784.
IV is the only subtraction: the I before the V takes away 1, so IV = 4.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCLXXXIIII
Why isn't 784 written as DCCLXXXIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 784 is DCCLXXXIV.
Wrong: DCCXXCIV
Why isn't 784 written as DCCXXCIV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 784 is DCCLXXXIV.
