MMMDLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + D (500) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 3589.

IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMDLXXXVIIII

Why isn't 3589 written as MMMDLXXXVIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3589 is MMMDLXXXIX.

Wrong: MMMDXXCIX

Why isn't 3589 written as MMMDXXCIX?

Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 3589 is MMMDLXXXIX.
