How CMLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 958 | CMLVIII |
CMLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + L (50) + VIII (8) = 958.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLVIII
Why isn't 958 written as DCCCCLVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 958 is CMLVIII.
Wrong: CMLIIX
Why isn't 958 written as CMLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 958 is CMLVIII.
