How MMDCCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 2740 | MMDCCXL |
MMDCCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) = 2740.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCXXXX
Why isn't 2740 written as MMDCCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2740 is MMDCCXL.
