How DCCXCIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 793 | DCCXCIII |
DCCXCIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + XC (90) + III (3) = 793.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCLXXXXIII
Why isn't 793 written as DCCLXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 793 is DCCXCIII.
