CCXCV

CCXCV is a Roman numeral representing the integer 295. It is formed by combining CC (200) + XC (90) + V (5), totaling 200 + 90 + 5 = 295. The use of XC employs subtractive notation, where a smaller numeral precedes a larger one to indicate subtraction (100 minus 10 equals 90).

Roman numerals use the letters I, V, X, L, C, D, M to denote 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 respectively. Larger numbers are formed by combining these symbols, with subtractive pairs like IV, IX, XL, XC, CD, and CM used to avoid excessive repetition. For 295, the pattern demonstrates standard rules: the 90 is written as XC rather than as a string of smaller symbols, and the overall value is accumulated as 200 + 90 + 5.

Usage and occurrence: CCXCV can denote a year, such as 295 CE, or be used as a catalog, registration, or page number in historical or scholarly works. In modern contexts, Roman numerals appear in clock faces, monarch regnal numbers, film or video series identifiers, and scholarly references.

Numerical properties: 295 is the product of 5 and 59, a semiprime. It is an odd, non-square number that lies in the 200s. Its representation as CCXCV follows standard conventions for writing three-part decompositions in Roman numerals.
