How XCIV is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- XCtens · 9X before C means 100 − 10 = 90. This saves writing LXXXX.
- IVones · 4I before V means 5 − 1 = 4. This saves writing IIII.
90 + 4 = 94
The pairs XC and IV use subtraction: a smaller letter before a larger one is taken away from it. Only six pairs work this way: IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. More on subtraction
Mistakes to avoid
- Not LXXXXIIII (9 letters). That adds everything up without subtraction. The Romans sometimes wrote numbers this way, and clocks still show 4 as IIII, but today XCIV (4 letters) is the standard.
