How MCCLXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 1289 | MCCLXXXIX |
MCCLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 1289.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1289 written as MCCLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1289 is MCCLXXXIX.
Wrong: MCCXXCIX
Why isn't 1289 written as MCCXXCIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1289 is MCCLXXXIX.
