How MMCDLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2458 | MMCDLVIII |
MMCDLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + L (50) + VIII (8) = 2458.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCLVIII
Why isn't 2458 written as MMCCCCLVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2458 is MMCDLVIII.
Wrong: MMCDLIIX
Why isn't 2458 written as MMCDLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2458 is MMCDLVIII.
