MMCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + C (100) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 2196.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMCLXXXXVI

Why isn't 2196 written as MMCLXXXXVI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2196 is MMCXCVI.
