MCDLXXXIV

MCDLXXXIV is a Roman numeral that denotes the integer 1,484. It is formed by combining the symbols M (1,000), CD (400), LXXX (80), and IV (4).

The numeral uses subtractive notation, where smaller values precede larger ones to indicate subtraction: CD equals 400, IV equals 4. The full decomposition is 1,000 + 400 + 80 + 4, yielding 1,484.

In practice, MCDLXXXIV appears in contexts that purposefully use Roman numerals, such as dates on inscriptions, monuments, or clock faces. In modern usage, it is primarily of historical or educational interest, illustrating how numerals were constructed. The form shown, with CD and IV, is the standard contemporary representation. Occasionally, older inscriptions may employ additive-only notation, such as CCCC for 400, but such forms are uncommon in current usage.
