How MMCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 2140 | MMCXL |
MMCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + C (100) + XL (40) = 2140.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCXXXX
Why isn't 2140 written as MMCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2140 is MMCXL.
