How MMDCLXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 600 | DC |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 2689 | MMDCLXXXIX |
MMDCLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DC (600) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 2689.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 2689 written as MMDCLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2689 is MMDCLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMDCXXCIX
Why isn't 2689 written as MMDCXXCIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 2689 is MMDCLXXXIX.
