How to read DCXIX
Roman numerals are read left to right, largest value first, adding as you go. Scanning DCXIX one group at a time gives a running total that lands on 619:
| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| DC | 600 | 600 |
| X | 10 | 610 |
| IX | 9 | 619 |
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 DCXIX falls into place.
