How DCXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 646 | DCXLVI |
DCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 646.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCXXXXVI
Why isn't 646 written as DCXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 646 is DCXLVI.
