34 = XXXIV

34 is written XXXIV in Roman numerals.

Step by step

  1. Split 34 into place values: 30 + 4.
  2. 30 = XXX
  3. 4 = IV
  4. Join them from largest to smallest: XXXIV.

To read XXXIV back, go from left to right and add each value, treating a smaller symbol before a larger one as a single subtracted pair: X (10) + X (10) + X (10) + IV (4) = 34.

How it works

Roman numerals combine seven symbols — I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500) and M (1,000). Write each place value of the number separately, from thousands down to ones, and join the results. Six subtractive pairs replace four repeated symbols: IV (4), IX (9), XL (40), XC (90), CD (400) and CM (900). No symbol appears more than three times in a row.
