How MMDCCCXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |

MMDCCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 2899.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCIC
Why isn't 2899 written as MMDCCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMDCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 2899 written as MMDCCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2899 is MMDCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 2899 written as MMDCCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2899 is MMDCCCXCIX.
