How CCCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 345 | CCCXLV |
CCCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XL (40) + V (5) = 345.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCVL
Why isn't 345 written as CCCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CCC (300) + XL (40) + V (5) = CCCXLV.
Wrong: CCCXXXXV
Why isn't 345 written as CCCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 345 is CCCXLV.
