How MDCXLIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 1643 | MDCXLIII |
MDCXLIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DC (600) + XL (40) + III (3) = 1643.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCXXXXIII
Why isn't 1643 written as MDCXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1643 is MDCXLIII.
