Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCXXXXIV
Why isn't 844 written as DCCCXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 844 is DCCCXLIV.
Wrong: DCCCXLIIII
Why isn't 844 written as DCCCXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 844 is DCCCXLIV.
Wrong: DCCCXXXXIIII
Why isn't 844 written as DCCCXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so XXXX and IIII are not used: 40 = XL, 4 = IV. Together they make DCCCXLIV.
