CCLXXXVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CC (200) + LXXX (80) + VII (7) = 287.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCXXCVII

Why isn't 287 written as CCXXCVII?

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 287 is CCLXXXVII.
