How MCCCXLII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 1342 | MCCCXLII |
MCCCXLII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CCC (300) + XL (40) + II (2) = 1342.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCXXXXII
Why isn't 1342 written as MCCCXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1342 is MCCCXLII.
