How MMMXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3048 | MMMXLVIII |
MMMXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 3048.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3048 written as MMMXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3048 is MMMXLVIII.
Wrong: MMMXLIIX
Why isn't 3048 written as MMMXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3048 is MMMXLVIII.
