How CDXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |

| Units | 5 | V |

CDXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XL (40) + V (5) = 445.
CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CDVL
Why isn't 445 written as CDVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CD (400) + XL (40) + V (5) = CDXLV.
Wrong: CCCCXLV
Why isn't 445 written as CCCCXLV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 445 is CDXLV.
Wrong: CDXXXXV
Why isn't 445 written as CDXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 445 is CDXLV.
