Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXLIII
Why isn't 943 written as DCCCCXLIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 943 is CMXLIII.
Wrong: CMXXXXIII
Why isn't 943 written as CMXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 943 is CMXLIII.
Wrong: DCCCCXXXXIII
Why isn't 943 written as DCCCCXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make CMXLIII.
