How CMLXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 969 | CMLXIX |
CMLXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + LX (60) + IX (9) = 969.
CM and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLXIX
Why isn't 969 written as DCCCCLXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 969 is CMLXIX.
Wrong: CMLXVIIII
Why isn't 969 written as CMLXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 969 is CMLXIX.
Wrong: DCCCCLXVIIII
Why isn't 969 written as DCCCCLXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make CMLXIX.
