How CCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 240 | CCXL |
CCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + XL (40) = 240.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCXXXX
Why isn't 240 written as CCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 240 is CCXL.
