How MMCMXCV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 5 | V |

MMCMXCV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + V (5) = 2995.
CM and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMVM
Why isn't 2995 written as MMVM?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + V (5) = MMCMXCV.
Wrong: MMCMVC
Why isn't 2995 written as MMCMVC?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CM (900) + XC (90) + V (5) = MMCMXCV.
Wrong: MMDCCCCXCV
Why isn't 2995 written as MMDCCCCXCV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2995 is MMCMXCV.
