How MMMCCXCVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 200 | CC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3298 | MMMCCXCVIII |
MMMCCXCVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + VIII (8) = 3298.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3298 written as MMMCCLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3298 is MMMCCXCVIII.
Wrong: MMMCCXCIIX
Why isn't 3298 written as MMMCCXCIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3298 is MMMCCXCVIII.
