How MCCXCVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 1297 | MCCXCVII |
MCCXCVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + VII (7) = 1297.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCLXXXXVII
Why isn't 1297 written as MCCLXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1297 is MCCXCVII.
