How MMCCXLII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 2242 | MMCCXLII |
MMCCXLII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + II (2) = 2242.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCXXXXII
Why isn't 2242 written as MMCCXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2242 is MMCCXLII.
