How MMMDCCXCVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 3797 | MMMDCCXCVII |
MMMDCCXCVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + VII (7) = 3797.
XC is the only subtraction: the X before the C takes away 10, so XC = 90.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCLXXXXVII
Why isn't 3797 written as MMMDCCLXXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3797 is MMMDCCXCVII.
