Check XCII by reading it back

Reading XCII from left to right and adding the pieces: XC = 90, II = 2. Together that is 90 + 2 = 92, so XCII and 92 match.

Mistakes to avoid with XCII

  • Do not write the 4s and 9s additively. 92 uses subtractive pairs (XC for 90), not strings like IIII or VIIII.
  • Never repeat a symbol more than three times in a row. When a fourth would be needed, the subtractive form takes over.
  • Only I, X and C may be placed before a larger symbol to subtract, so XCII never contains forms such as VX or LC.
  • Read XCII as one number, not letter by letter: add the values left to right, except where a smaller symbol sits before a larger one.
