How MMDXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 2596 | MMDXCVI |
MMDXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + D (500) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 2596.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDLXXXXVI
Why isn't 2596 written as MMDLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2596 is MMDXCVI.
