How DCXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 645 | DCXLV |
DCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XL (40) + V (5) = 645.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCVL
Why isn't 645 written as DCVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: DC (600) + XL (40) + V (5) = DCXLV.
Wrong: DCXXXXV
Why isn't 645 written as DCXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 645 is DCXLV.
