How DCCCXCIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 894 | DCCCXCIV |
DCCCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCCC (800) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 894.
XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 894 written as DCCCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 894 is DCCCXCIV.
Wrong: DCCCXCIIII
Why isn't 894 written as DCCCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 894 is DCCCXCIV.
Wrong: DCCCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 894 written as DCCCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make DCCCXCIV.
