How to read DCCXIX
Roman numerals are read left to right, largest value first, adding as you go. Scanning DCCXIX one group at a time gives a running total that lands on 719:
| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| DCC | 700 | 700 |
| X | 10 | 710 |
| IX | 9 | 719 |
The one place that scan can trip you up is the pair IX. 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 IX as one group and the rest of DCCXIX falls into place.
