How MMMDCCXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3748 | MMMDCCXLVIII |
MMMDCCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 3748.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3748 written as MMMDCCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3748 is MMMDCCXLVIII.
Wrong: MMMDCCXLIIX
Why isn't 3748 written as MMMDCCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3748 is MMMDCCXLVIII.
