How CCCVI is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- CCChundreds · 3C written 3 times: 3 × 100 = 300.
- VIones · 6V (5) plus I (1) makes 6.
300 + 6 = 306
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
Mistakes to avoid
- There's no letter for zero. The zero is simply left out, which is why 306 has 2 parts, not 3.
