How XLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 46 | XLVI |
XLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: XL (40) + VI (6) = 46.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: XXXXVI
Why isn't 46 written as XXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 46 is XLVI.
