How to read MMXXIV
Roman numerals are read left to right, largest value first, adding as you go. Scanning MMXXIV one group at a time gives a running total that lands on 2024:
| Read | Worth | Running total |
|---|---|---|
| MM | 2000 | 2000 |
| XX | 20 | 2020 |
| IV | 4 | 2024 |
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 MMXXIV falls into place.
