How CML is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Total | 950 | CML |
CML is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + L (50) = 950.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: LM
Why isn't 950 written as LM?
L is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: CM (900) + L (50) = CML.
Wrong: DCCCCL
Why isn't 950 written as DCCCCL?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 950 is CML.
