How MXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 1040 | MXL |
MXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + XL (40) = 1040.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MXXXX
Why isn't 1040 written as MXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1040 is MXL.
