How MMDCCCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 2845 | MMDCCCXLV |
MMDCCCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + V (5) = 2845.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCVL
Why isn't 2845 written as MMDCCCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + V (5) = MMDCCCXLV.
Wrong: MMDCCCXXXXV
Why isn't 2845 written as MMDCCCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2845 is MMDCCCXLV.
Wrong: MMCCMXLV
Why isn't 2845 written as MMCCMXLV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 2845 is MMDCCCXLV.
