How MMMCCXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 3246 | MMMCCXLVI |
MMMCCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 3246.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 3246 written as MMMCCXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3246 is MMMCCXLVI.
