How MMMDCCCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 3845 | MMMDCCCXLV |
MMMDCCCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + V (5) = 3845.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCVL
Why isn't 3845 written as MMMDCCCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + V (5) = MMMDCCCXLV.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXXXXV
Why isn't 3845 written as MMMDCCCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3845 is MMMDCCCXLV.
Wrong: MMMCCMXLV
Why isn't 3845 written as MMMCCMXLV?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 3845 is MMMDCCCXLV.
