How MMMCXCVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 100 | C |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3198 | MMMCXCVIII |
MMMCXCVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + C (100) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = 3198.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3198 written as MMMCLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3198 is MMMCXCVIII.
Wrong: MMMCXCIIX
Why isn't 3198 written as MMMCXCIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3198 is MMMCXCVIII.
