How DCCLXXX is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- DCChundreds · 7D (500) plus CC (200) makes 700.
- LXXXtens · 8L (50) plus XXX (30) makes 80.
700 + 80 = 780
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 780 has 2 parts, not 3.
