200 in Roman Numerals
200 is written as CC in Roman numerals.
How CC is built
Roman numerals are written one place value at a time, largest first. 200 splits into 200 (hundreds), and each piece becomes its own group of symbols:
| Symbol | Value | Running total | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 100 | 100 | |
| C | 100 | 200 |
Read left to right, the symbols add up: 100 + 100 = 200. CC needs no subtractive pairs: every symbol in it is simply added, because no place value of 200 is a 4 or a 9.
The symbol C (100) is the largest one used to build CC -- it also shows up in 11 other numbers between 1 and 100.
