Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCLXXXXIV
Why isn't 2894 written as MMDCCCLXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2894 is MMDCCCXCIV.
Wrong: MMDCCCXCIIII
Why isn't 2894 written as MMDCCCXCIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 2894 is MMDCCCXCIV.
Wrong: MMDCCCLXXXXIIII
Why isn't 2894 written as MMDCCCLXXXXIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make MMDCCCXCIV.
