CCCXLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XL (40) + VII (7) = 347.

XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCCXXXXVII

Why isn't 347 written as CCCXXXXVII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 347 is CCCXLVII.
