How DCCXLVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 746 | DCCXLVI |
DCCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 746.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCXXXXVI
Why isn't 746 written as DCCXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 746 is DCCXLVI.
