How MMCCCXLII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 2342 | MMCCCXLII |
MMCCCXLII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CCC (300) + XL (40) + II (2) = 2342.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCXXXXII
Why isn't 2342 written as MMCCCXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2342 is MMCCCXLII.
