How MMDCCCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 2809 | MMDCCCIX |
MMDCCCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + IX (9) = 2809.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCVIIII
Why isn't 2809 written as MMDCCCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2809 is MMDCCCIX.
Wrong: MMCCMIX
Why isn't 2809 written as MMCCMIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 2809 is MMDCCCIX.
