How MDCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 1645 | MDCXLV |
MDCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DC (600) + XL (40) + V (5) = 1645.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCVL
Why isn't 1645 written as MDCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: M (1000) + DC (600) + XL (40) + V (5) = MDCXLV.
Wrong: MDCXXXXV
Why isn't 1645 written as MDCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1645 is MDCXLV.
