How CMXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 945 | CMXLV |
CMXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XL (40) + V (5) = 945.
CM and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CMVL
Why isn't 945 written as CMVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CM (900) + XL (40) + V (5) = CMXLV.
Wrong: DCCCCXLV
Why isn't 945 written as DCCCCXLV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 945 is CMXLV.
Wrong: CMXXXXV
Why isn't 945 written as CMXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 945 is CMXLV.
