How MCDLXXVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 1477 | MCDLXXVII |
MCDLXXVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + LXX (70) + VII (7) = 1477.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCLXXVII
Why isn't 1477 written as MCCCCLXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1477 is MCDLXXVII.
