**105 in Roman numerals: CV**

105 is written CV in Roman numerals. That is 2 symbol groups added together, reading left to right from the largest value down.

## How it breaks down

*CV = 100 + 5 = 105*

| Group | Value | Subtraction | Running total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| C | 100 | — | 100 |
| V | 5 | — | 105 |

## No subtraction needed

CV is purely additive — every symbol is simply added to the one before it, with no subtractive pairs like IV or IX. Numbers avoid subtraction when none of their digits is a 4 or a 9.
