How MCCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 1245 | MCCXLV |
MCCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + V (5) = 1245.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCVL
Why isn't 1245 written as MCCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: M (1000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + V (5) = MCCXLV.
Wrong: MCCXXXXV
Why isn't 1245 written as MCCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1245 is MCCXLV.
