Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCXCVII
Why isn't 3497 written as MMMCCCCXCVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3497 is MMMCDXCVII.
Wrong: MMMCDLXXXXVII
Why isn't 3497 written as MMMCDLXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3497 is MMMCDXCVII.
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXXXVII
Why isn't 3497 written as MMMCCCCLXXXXVII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMMCDXCVII.
