How MLXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 1079 | MLXXIX |
MLXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + LXX (70) + IX (9) = 1079.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MLXXVIIII
Why isn't 1079 written as MLXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1079 is MLXXIX.
