How MCXLVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 1147 | MCXLVII |
MCXLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + C (100) + XL (40) + VII (7) = 1147.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCXXXXVII
Why isn't 1147 written as MCXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1147 is MCXLVII.
