Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXCII
Why isn't 2992 written as MMDCCCCXCII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2992 is MMCMXCII.
Wrong: MMCMLXXXXII
Why isn't 2992 written as MMCMLXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2992 is MMCMXCII.
Wrong: MMDCCCCLXXXXII
Why isn't 2992 written as MMDCCCCLXXXXII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and LXXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 90 = XC. Together they make MMCMXCII.
