How MCDLXXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 1482 | MCDLXXXII |
MCDLXXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + LXXX (80) + II (2) = 1482.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCLXXXII
Why isn't 1482 written as MCCCCLXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1482 is MCDLXXXII.
Wrong: MCDXXCII
Why isn't 1482 written as MCDXXCII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1482 is MCDLXXXII.
