How CMLXXIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 973 | CMLXXIII |
CMLXXIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + LXX (70) + III (3) = 973.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCLXXIII
Why isn't 973 written as DCCCCLXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 973 is CMLXXIII.
