How MCDXXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 20 | XX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 1428 | MCDXXVIII |
MCDXXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + XX (20) + VIII (8) = 1428.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCXXVIII
Why isn't 1428 written as MCCCCXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1428 is MCDXXVIII.
Wrong: MCDXXIIX
Why isn't 1428 written as MCDXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1428 is MCDXXVIII.
