How MDCCCXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 1846 | MDCCCXLVI |
MDCCCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 1846.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDCCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 1846 written as MDCCCXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1846 is MDCCCXLVI.
Wrong: MCCMXLVI
Why isn't 1846 written as MCCMXLVI?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 1846 is MDCCCXLVI.
