How MMMDCCXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 3740 | MMMDCCXL |
MMMDCCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) = 3740.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCXXXX
Why isn't 3740 written as MMMDCCXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3740 is MMMDCCXL.
