Total931CMXXXI

CMXXXI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XXX (30) + I (1) = 931.

CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.

Common mistakes

Wrong: DCCCCXXXI

Why isn't 931 written as DCCCCXXXI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 931 is CMXXXI.
