How DCCXLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 748 | DCCXLVIII |
DCCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: DCC (700) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 748.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 748 written as DCCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 748 is DCCXLVIII.
Wrong: DCCXLIIX
Why isn't 748 written as DCCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 748 is DCCXLVIII.
