How MMDXCVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 500 | D |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 2597 | MMDXCVII |
MMDXCVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + D (500) + XC (90) + VII (7) = 2597.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDLXXXXVII
Why isn't 2597 written as MMDLXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2597 is MMDXCVII.
