CDXXXIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XXX (30) + III (3) = 433.

CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.

Common mistakes

Wrong: CCCCXXXIII

Why isn't 433 written as CCCCXXXIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 433 is CDXXXIII.
