How CDXL is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Total | 440 | CDXL |
CDXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XL (40) = 440.
CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXL
Why isn't 440 written as CCCCXL?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 440 is CDXL.
Wrong: CDXXXX
Why isn't 440 written as CDXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 440 is CDXL.
Wrong: CCCCXXXX
Why isn't 440 written as CCCCXXXX?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make CDXL.
