How CMLVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 957 | CMLVII |
CMLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + L (50) + VII (7) = 957.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLVII
Why isn't 957 written as DCCCCLVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 957 is CMLVII.
