CCCXIV

CCCXIV is the Roman numeral representation of the number 314. In the Roman numeral system, C represents 100, X represents 10, and I represents 1. The numeral is constructed by combining these symbols. The value is determined by adding the values of the symbols from left to right, as long as the symbols are arranged in descending order of value. In CCCXIV, two Cs are present, contributing 100 + 100 = 200. Following this is an X, adding 10, for a total of 210. Finally, IV is present. In Roman numerals, when a symbol of smaller value precedes a symbol of larger value, it indicates subtraction. Therefore, IV represents 5 - 1 = 4. Adding this to the preceding value, 210 + 4, results in the final decimal value of 314. The number 314 itself is a composite number, divisible by 1, 2, 157, and 314. It is also an odd number. The Roman numeral system was widely used in ancient Rome and for centuries afterward, particularly for dates, numbering and in certain contexts such as clock faces.
