Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCMLXXXVII
Why isn't 1887 written as MCCMLXXXVII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 1887 is MDCCCLXXXVII.
Wrong: MDCCCXXCVII
Why isn't 1887 written as MDCCCXXCVII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 1887 is MDCCCLXXXVII.
