How MDCCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 1740 | MDCCXL |
MDCCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) = 1740.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCCXXXX
Why isn't 1740 written as MDCCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1740 is MDCCXL.
