How CDXLVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|

CDXLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + XL (40) + VII (7) = 447.
CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCXLVII
Why isn't 447 written as CCCCXLVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 447 is CDXLVII.
Wrong: CDXXXXVII
Why isn't 447 written as CDXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 447 is CDXLVII.
Wrong: CCCCXXXXVII
Why isn't 447 written as CCCCXXXXVII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make CDXLVII.
