How MCCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 1240 | MCCXL |
MCCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XL (40) = 1240.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCXXXX
Why isn't 1240 written as MCCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1240 is MCCXL.
