How do you write 468 in Roman numerals?
Write 468 as CDLXVIII, combining CD + L + X + V + I + I + I. Start from the largest value that fits and work down until nothing is left over.
Why is 468 not written CCCCLXVIII?
CDLXVIII uses the subtractive rule: a smaller symbol placed before a larger one is taken away, so you never repeat a symbol four times. CCCCLXVIII breaks that rule, which is why CDLXVIII is the only correct form.
