How it breaks down
| Group | Value | Subtraction | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| M | 1,000 | — | 1,000 |
| C | 100 | — | 1,100 |
| C | 100 | — | 1,200 |

| IV | 4 | V − I | 1,394 |
Why the smaller symbol comes first
MCCCXCIV uses subtractive notation in 2 places: XC means C minus X, or 90; IV means V minus I, or 4. 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.
