How CMXIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 10 | X |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 914 | CMXIV |
CMXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + X (10) + IV (4) = 914.
CM and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXIV
Why isn't 914 written as DCCCCXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 914 is CMXIV.
Wrong: CMXIIII
Why isn't 914 written as CMXIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 914 is CMXIV.
Wrong: DCCCCXIIII
Why isn't 914 written as DCCCCXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and IIII are not used: 900 = CM, 4 = IV. Together they make CMXIV.
