MCDLI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + L (50) + I (1) = 1451.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MCCCCLI

Why isn't 1451 written as MCCCCLI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1451 is MCDLI.
