How DCCCLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 855 | DCCCLV |
DCCCLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCCC (800) + L (50) + V (5) = 855.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCMLV
Why isn't 855 written as CCMLV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 855 is DCCCLV.
