How CDLIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 453 | CDLIII |
CDLIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CD (400) + L (50) + III (3) = 453.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CCCCLIII
Why isn't 453 written as CCCCLIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 453 is CDLIII.
