Convert DCXVII to a number:
Roman Numeral Values:
N = 0, I = 1, V = 5
X = 10, L = 50, C = 100
D = 500, M = 1,000.
Assign values to each letter in DCXVII
Letter 1 is D = 500
The next letter C has a lower value of 100
Assign a positive value to D
Add 500 to our sum of 0
500 + 0 = 500
Letter 2 is C = 100
The next letter X has a lower value of 10
Assign a positive value to C
Add 100 to our sum of 500
100 + 500 = 600
Letter 3 is X = 10
The next letter V has a lower value of 5
Assign a positive value to X
Add 10 to our sum of 600
10 + 600 = 610
Letter 4 is V = 5
The next letter I has a lower value of 1
Assign a positive value to V
Add 5 to our sum of 610
5 + 610 = 615
Letter 5 is I = 1
The next letter I has a lower value of 1
Assign a positive value to I
Add 1 to our sum of 615
1 + 615 = 616
Letter 6 is I = 1
Since I is the last letter of our Roman numeral, we assign a positive value to I
Add 1 to our sum of 616
1 + 616 = 617
