How CLXXXVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 7 | VII |

CLXXXVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: C (100) + LXXX (80) + VII (7) = 187.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CXXCVII
Why isn't 187 written as CXXCVII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 187 is CLXXXVII.
