How CMLXVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 966 | CMLXVI |
CMLXVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + LX (60) + VI (6) = 966.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLXVI
Why isn't 966 written as DCCCCLXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 966 is CMLXVI.
