How MMMCCXLVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 3247 | MMMCCXLVII |
MMMCCXLVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + VII (7) = 3247.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCXXXXVII
Why isn't 3247 written as MMMCCXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3247 is MMMCCXLVII.
