How MMCCCXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |

MMCCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CCC (300) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 2399.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCIC
Why isn't 2399 written as MMCCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CCC (300) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMCCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 2399 written as MMCCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2399 is MMCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMCCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 2399 written as MMCCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2399 is MMCCCXCIX.
