How MMDCCXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2748 | MMDCCXLVIII |
MMDCCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 2748.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2748 written as MMDCCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2748 is MMDCCXLVIII.
Wrong: MMDCCXLIIX
Why isn't 2748 written as MMDCCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2748 is MMDCCXLVIII.
