How DCII is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- DChundreds · 6D (500) plus C (100) makes 600.
- IIones · 2I written 2 times: 2 × 1 = 2.
600 + 2 = 602
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 602 has 2 parts, not 3.
