How MMCMIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Units | 3 | III |
| Total | 2903 | MMCMIII |
MMCMIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + III (3) = 2903.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCIII
Why isn't 2903 written as MMDCCCCIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2903 is MMCMIII.
