How MCDXCVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 1498 | MCDXCVIII |
MCDXCVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = 1498.
CD and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCXCVIII
Why isn't 1498 written as MCCCCXCVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1498 is MCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MCDLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 1498 written as MCDLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1498 is MCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MCCCCLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 1498 written as MCCCCLXXXXVIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MCDXCVIII.
