How MMDCCCXCVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |

MMDCCCXCVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = 2898.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 2898 written as MMDCCCLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2898 is MMDCCCXCVIII.
Wrong: MMCCMXCVIII
Why isn't 2898 written as MMCCMXCVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 2898 is MMDCCCXCVIII.
Wrong: MMDCCCXCIIX
Why isn't 2898 written as MMDCCCXCIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2898 is MMDCCCXCVIII.
