CDXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 446.
CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXLVI
Why isn't 446 written as CCCCXLVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 446 is CDXLVI.
Wrong: CDXXXXVI
Why isn't 446 written as CDXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 446 is CDXLVI.
Wrong: CCCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 446 written as CCCCXXXXVI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make CDXLVI.
