How MCCCLXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 300 | CCC |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 1389 | MCCCLXXXIX |
MCCCLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CCC (300) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 1389.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1389 written as MCCCLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1389 is MCCCLXXXIX.
Wrong: MCCCXXCIX
Why isn't 1389 written as MCCCXXCIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1389 is MCCCLXXXIX.
