How MMCMVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2908 | MMCMVIII |
MMCMVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + VIII (8) = 2908.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCVIII
Why isn't 2908 written as MMDCCCCVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2908 is MMCMVIII.
Wrong: MMCMIIX
Why isn't 2908 written as MMCMIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2908 is MMCMVIII.
