Check XCV by reading it back

Reading XCV from left to right and adding the pieces: XC = 90, V = 5. Together that is 90 + 5 = 95, so XCV and 95 match.

Mistakes to avoid with XCV

  • Do not write the 4s and 9s additively. 95 uses subtractive pairs (XC for 90), not strings like IIII or VIIII.
  • Only I, X and C may be placed before a larger symbol to subtract, so XCV never contains forms such as VX or LC.
  • Read XCV as one number, not letter by letter: add the values left to right, except where a smaller symbol sits before a larger one.
