How MMCXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2148 | MMCXLVIII |
MMCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + C (100) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 2148.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2148 written as MMCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2148 is MMCXLVIII.
Wrong: MMCXLIIX
Why isn't 2148 written as MMCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2148 is MMCXLVIII.
