MMMCCCXCVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CCC (300) + XC (90) + VII (7) = 3397.

XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMCCCLXXXXVII

Why isn't 3397 written as MMMCCCLXXXXVII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3397 is MMMCCCXCVII.
