How MMMDCCXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 3799 | MMMDCCXCIX |
MMMDCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 3799.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCIC
Why isn't 3799 written as MMMDCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMMDCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 3799 written as MMMDCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3799 is MMMDCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 3799 written as MMMDCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3799 is MMMDCCXCIX.
