DCCXIV

DCCXIV is a Roman numeral. It represents the number 714 in the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. To understand how this numeral is formed, we can break down its components. The numeral D represents 500. The numeral C represents 100. The numeral X represents 10. The numeral IV is a subtractive notation where I (1) precedes V (5), meaning 5 - 1, which equals 4. Therefore, DCCXIV is constructed by adding the values of these individual components: 500 + 100 + 100 + 10 + 4. This sum results in 714. Roman numerals follow specific rules for formation, including the additive principle where numerals of lesser value placed after those of greater value are added, and the subtractive principle where a numeral of lesser value placed before a numeral of greater value is subtracted from the greater. In DCCXIV, the D, C, and X are all added, while the IV follows the subtractive rule.
