How CMLIV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 4 | I (subtracted)V |
| Total | 954 | CMLIV |
CMLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + L (50) + IV (4) = 954.
CM and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLIV
Why isn't 954 written as DCCCCLIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 954 is CMLIV.
Wrong: CMLIIII
Why isn't 954 written as CMLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 954 is CMLIV.
Wrong: DCCCCLIIII
Why isn't 954 written as DCCCCLIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and IIII are not used: 900 = CM, 4 = IV. Together they make CMLIV.
