How CDXXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 20 | XX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 428 | CDXXVIII |
CDXXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XX (20) + VIII (8) = 428.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXXVIII
Why isn't 428 written as CCCCXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 428 is CDXXVIII.
Wrong: CDXXIIX
Why isn't 428 written as CDXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 428 is CDXXVIII.
