How MMCDLXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2468 | MMCDLXVIII |
MMCDLXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + LX (60) + VIII (8) = 2468.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCLXVIII
Why isn't 2468 written as MMCCCCLXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2468 is MMCDLXVIII.
Wrong: MMCDLXIIX
Why isn't 2468 written as MMCDLXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2468 is MMCDLXVIII.
