five hundred forty-five
How DXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 545 | DXLV |
DXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: D (500) + XL (40) + V (5) = 545.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DVL
Why isn't 545 written as DVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: D (500) + XL (40) + V (5) = DXLV.
Wrong: DXXXXV
Why isn't 545 written as DXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 545 is DXLV.
