How MCDLXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 1462 | MCDLXII |
MCDLXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + LX (60) + II (2) = 1462.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCLXII
Why isn't 1462 written as MCCCCLXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1462 is MCDLXII.
