one hundred forty-five
How CXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 145 | CXLV |
CXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: C (100) + XL (40) + V (5) = 145.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CVL
Why isn't 145 written as CVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: C (100) + XL (40) + V (5) = CXLV.
Wrong: CXXXXV
Why isn't 145 written as CXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 145 is CXLV.
