Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXLIII
Why isn't 2943 written as MMDCCCCXLIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2943 is MMCMXLIII.
Wrong: MMCMXXXXIII
Why isn't 2943 written as MMCMXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2943 is MMCMXLIII.
Wrong: MMDCCCCXXXXIII
Why isn't 2943 written as MMDCCCCXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make MMCMXLIII.
