How MMCDLXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 2472 | MMCDLXXII |
MMCDLXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + LXX (70) + II (2) = 2472.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXII
Why isn't 2472 written as MMCCCCLXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2472 is MMCDLXXII.
