How MMCMLVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 2958 | MMCMLVIII |
MMCMLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + L (50) + VIII (8) = 2958.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLVIII
Why isn't 2958 written as MMDCCCCLVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2958 is MMCMLVIII.
Wrong: MMCMLIIX
Why isn't 2958 written as MMCMLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 2958 is MMCMLVIII.
