How DCCXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 795 | DCCXCV |
DCCXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + XC (90) + V (5) = 795.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCVC
Why isn't 795 written as DCCVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: DCC (700) + XC (90) + V (5) = DCCXCV.
Wrong: DCCLXXXXV
Why isn't 795 written as DCCLXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 795 is DCCXCV.
