How MMDCCCXCVI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 6 | VI |
| Total | 2896 | MMDCCCXCVI |
MMDCCCXCVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + VI (6) = 2896.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCLXXXXVI
Why isn't 2896 written as MMDCCCLXXXXVI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2896 is MMDCCCXCVI.
Wrong: MMCCMXCVI
Why isn't 2896 written as MMCCMXCVI?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 2896 is MMDCCCXCVI.
