How CDXXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 30 | XXX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 432 | CDXXXII |
CDXXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XXX (30) + II (2) = 432.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXXXII
Why isn't 432 written as CCCCXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 432 is CDXXXII.
