How DCCCXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 895 | DCCCXCV |
DCCCXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCCC (800) + XC (90) + V (5) = 895.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCVC
Why isn't 895 written as DCCCVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: DCCC (800) + XC (90) + V (5) = DCCCXCV.
Wrong: DCCCLXXXXV
Why isn't 895 written as DCCCLXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 895 is DCCCXCV.
Wrong: CCMXCV
Why isn't 895 written as CCMXCV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 895 is DCCCXCV.
