How MMDCCXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |

MMDCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 2799.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCIC
Why isn't 2799 written as MMDCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMDCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMDCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 2799 written as MMDCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2799 is MMDCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMDCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 2799 written as MMDCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2799 is MMDCCXCIX.
