MMMCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 3299.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCIC
Why isn't 3299 written as MMMCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMMCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 3299 written as MMMCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3299 is MMMCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 3299 written as MMMCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3299 is MMMCCXCIX.
