How MMCXLIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 2143 | MMCXLIII |
MMCXLIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + C (100) + XL (40) + III (3) = 2143.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCXXXXIII
Why isn't 2143 written as MMCXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2143 is MMCXLIII.
