How LXXXV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 85 | LXXXV |
LXXXV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: LXXX (80) + V (5) = 85.
Common mistakes
Wrong: XXCV
Why isn't 85 written as XXCV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 85 is LXXXV.
