How DCXLVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 647 | DCXLVII |
DCXLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DC (600) + XL (40) + VII (7) = 647.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCXXXXVII
Why isn't 647 written as DCXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 647 is DCXLVII.
