How MDVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 1508 | MDVIII |
MDVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + D (500) + VIII (8) = 1508.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MDIIX
Why isn't 1508 written as MDIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 1508 is MDVIII.
