How CCCXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 348 | CCCXLVIII |
CCCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CCC (300) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 348.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 348 written as CCCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 348 is CCCXLVIII.
Wrong: CCCXLIIX
Why isn't 348 written as CCCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 348 is CCCXLVIII.
