How MMCMLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 5 | V |
| Total | 2955 | MMCMLV |
MMCMLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + L (50) + V (5) = 2955.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLV
Why isn't 2955 written as MMDCCCCLV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2955 is MMCMLV.
