How DCLXV is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- DChundreds · 6D (500) plus C (100) makes 600.
- LXtens · 6L (50) plus X (10) makes 60.
- Vones · 5V is 5.
600 + 60 + 5 = 665
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
