How MMCDXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 2499 | MMCDXCIX |
MMCDXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 2499.
CD, XC, and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMID
Why isn't 2499 written as MMID?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so ID (500 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMCDXCIX.
Wrong: MMCDIC
Why isn't 2499 written as MMCDIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMCDXCIX.
Wrong: MMCCCCXCIX
Why isn't 2499 written as MMCCCCXCIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2499 is MMCDXCIX.
