How to read CXIV
Roman numerals are read left to right, largest value first, adding as you go. Scanning CXIV one group at a time gives a running total that lands on 114:
| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| C | 100 | 100 |
| X | 10 | 110 |
| IV | 4 | 114 |
The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair IV. A smaller letter sitting in front of a larger one is subtracted, not added, so you have to read those two letters as a single unit rather than one at a time. Treat IV as one group and the rest of CXIV falls into place.
