How CXLII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 142 | CXLII |
CXLII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: C (100) + XL (40) + II (2) = 142.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CXXXXII
Why isn't 142 written as CXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 142 is CXLII.
