MCMXLV is 1945 in Roman numerals. To figure this out, you must first know that M = 1000, C = 1000, X = 10, L = 50, and V = 5.
The first M shows us we are dealing with a figure of at least 1000.
Next, CM shows us '100 before 1000' so that means 900.
Then, XL shows us '10 before 50' so that means 40.
V equals 5.
M = 1000
CM = 900 + 1000 = 1900
XL = 40 + 1900 = 1940
V = 5 + 1940 = 1945
In today's modern notation it is: MCMXLV
MCM-MCMXLV
1945 = 1000 + (1000 - 100) + (50 - 10) + 5 so MCMXLV
The most common Roman numeral for 1945 is MCMXLV. However, a variant Roman numeral (MCMVL) is not uncommon. I have noted several examples from publication dates in books from 1945.
