MCDXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + X (10) + VIII (8) = 1418.

CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MCCCCXVIII

Why isn't 1418 written as MCCCCXVIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1418 is MCDXVIII.

Wrong: MCDXIIX

Why isn't 1418 written as MCDXIIX?

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1418 is MCDXVIII.
