How MMCMLXX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Total | 2970 | MMCMLXX |
MMCMLXX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + LXX (70) = 2970.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXX
Why isn't 2970 written as MMDCCCCLXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2970 is MMCMLXX.
