Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCCCXCVIII
Why isn't 3498 written as MMMCCCCXCVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 3498 is MMMCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MMMCDLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3498 written as MMMCDLXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3498 is MMMCDXCVIII.
Wrong: MMMCCCCLXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3498 written as MMMCCCCLXXXXVIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMMCDXCVIII.
