How MMMCDLXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 3472 | MMMCDLXXII |
MMMCDLXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CD (400) + LXX (70) + II (2) = 3472.
CD is the only subtraction: the C before the D takes away 100, so CD = 400.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXII
Why isn't 3472 written as MMMCCCCLXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3472 is MMMCDLXXII.
