# 1,095 in Roman numerals

**1,095 in Roman numerals: MXCV**

1,095 is written MXCV in Roman numerals. That is 3 symbol groups added together, reading left to right from the largest value down.

## How it breaks down

*MXCV = 1000 + 90 + 5 = 1,095*

| Group | Value | Subtraction | Running total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M | 1,000 | — | 1,000 |
| XC | 90 | C − X | 1,090 |
| V | 5 | — | 1,095 |

## Why the smaller symbol comes first

MXCV uses subtractive notation in one place: XC means C minus X, or 90. A smaller symbol placed before a larger one is subtracted from it rather than added, which is why IX is nine and not eleven.

Only six such pairs are valid — IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. That restriction is what makes the notation unambiguous: IIII and IC both look like they should work, but neither is standard, and only one spelling of any number is correct.

## The symbols

| Symbol | Value | Used here |
| --- | --- | --- |
| I | 1 | no |
| V | 5 | yes — 1× |

| L | 50 | no |
| C | 100 | yes — 1× |
| D | 500 | no |
| M | 1,000 | yes — 1× |
