910 in Roman numerals
CMX

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

How it breaks down

CMX = 900 + 10 = 910
Group Value Subtraction Running total
CM 900 M − C 900
X 10 910

Why the smaller symbol comes first

CMX uses subtractive notation in one place: CM means M minus C, or 900. 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.
