How MMDCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 2609 | MMDCIX |
MMDCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DC (600) + IX (9) = 2609.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCVIIII
Why isn't 2609 written as MMDCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2609 is MMDCIX.
