How MCDXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |

MCDXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 1446.
CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCXLVI
Why isn't 1446 written as MCCCCXLVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1446 is MCDXLVI.
Wrong: MCDXXXXVI
Why isn't 1446 written as MCDXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1446 is MCDXLVI.
Wrong: MCCCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 1446 written as MCCCCXXXXVI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make MCDXLVI.
