How MMCDIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 2409 | MMCDIX |
MMCDIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + IX (9) = 2409.
CD and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCIX
Why isn't 2409 written as MMCCCCIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2409 is MMCDIX.
Wrong: MMCDVIIII
Why isn't 2409 written as MMCDVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2409 is MMCDIX.
Wrong: MMCCCCVIIII
Why isn't 2409 written as MMCCCCVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make MMCDIX.
