How CMXXX is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- CMhundreds · 9C before M means 1,000 − 100 = 900. This saves writing DCCCC.
- XXXtens · 3X written 3 times: 3 × 10 = 30.
900 + 30 = 930
The pair CM uses 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 DCCCCXXX (8 letters). That adds everything up without subtraction. The Romans sometimes wrote numbers this way, and clocks still show 4 as IIII, but today CMXXX (5 letters) is the standard.
- There's no letter for zero. The zero is simply left out, which is why 930 has 2 parts, not 3.
