700 in Roman Numerals
700 is written as DCC in Roman numerals.
How DCC is built
Roman numerals are written one place value at a time, largest first. 700 splits into 700 (hundreds), and each piece becomes its own group of symbols:
| Symbol | Value | Running total | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| D | 500 | 500 | |
| C | 100 | 600 | |
| C | 100 | 700 |
Read left to right, the symbols add up: 500 + 100 + 100 = 700. DCC needs no subtractive pairs: every symbol in it is simply added, because no place value of 700 is a 4 or a 9.
The symbol D (500) is the largest one used to build DCC, and 1 through 100 has no other number that uses it.

What comes before and after 700 in Roman numerals?

DCC is 3 characters long. Roman numerals don't get longer in a straight line with the number they represent -- DCXCIX (699) is 6 characters and DCCI (701) is 4 characters, because each number is rebuilt from scratch out of the largest symbols that fit, not incremented digit by digit.
