How XCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 95 | XCV |
XCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: XC (90) + V (5) = 95.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: VC
Why isn't 95 written as VC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: XC (90) + V (5) = XCV.
Wrong: LXXXXV
Why isn't 95 written as LXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 95 is XCV.
