How MMCMLXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 2962 | MMCMLXII |
MMCMLXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + LX (60) + II (2) = 2962.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXII
Why isn't 2962 written as MMDCCCCLXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2962 is MMCMLXII.
