How XC is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Total | 90 | XC |
XC is a subtractive pair: X written before C means 100 − 10 = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: LXXXX
Why isn't 90 written as LXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX.
