How it breaks down

CDLXVII = 400 + 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 1 = 467
Group	Value	Subtraction	Running total
CD	400	D − C	400
L	50	—	450
X	10	—	460
V	5	—	465
I	1	—	466
I	1	—	467

Why the smaller symbol comes first

CDLXVII uses subtractive notation in one place: CD means D minus C, or 400. A smaller symbol placed before a larger one is subtracted from it rather than added, which is why IX is nine and not eleven.

Only six such pairs are valid — IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. That restriction is what makes the notation unambiguous: IIII and IC both look like they should work, but neither is standard, and only one spelling of any number is correct.
