How MMCDXC is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Total | 2490 | MMCDXC |
MMCDXC is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) = 2490.
CD and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMXD
Why isn't 2490 written as MMXD?
X can only be subtracted from L and C, so XD (500 − 10) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) = MMCDXC.
Wrong: MMCCCCXC
Why isn't 2490 written as MMCCCCXC?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2490 is MMCDXC.
Wrong: MMCDLXXXX
Why isn't 2490 written as MMCDLXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2490 is MMCDXC.
