How MCDLXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 1468 | MCDLXVIII |
MCDLXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + LX (60) + VIII (8) = 1468.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCLXVIII
Why isn't 1468 written as MCCCCLXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1468 is MCDLXVIII.
Wrong: MCDLXIIX
Why isn't 1468 written as MCDLXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1468 is MCDLXVIII.
