MDCCXCII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + II (2) = 1792.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MDCCLXXXXII

Why isn't 1792 written as MDCCLXXXXII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1792 is MDCCXCII.
