How MMMDCCLXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 3789 | MMMDCCLXXXIX |
MMMDCCLXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + LXXX (80) + IX (9) = 3789.
IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCLXXXVIIII
Why isn't 3789 written as MMMDCCLXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3789 is MMMDCCLXXXIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCXXCIX
Why isn't 3789 written as MMMDCCXXCIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 3789 is MMMDCCLXXXIX.
