How MMMDCCCXCIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |

| Tens | 90 | X (subtracted)C |

MMMDCCCXCIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + IX (9) = 3899.
XC and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCIC
Why isn't 3899 written as MMMDCCCIC?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IC (100 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XC (90) + IX (9) = MMMDCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCCLXXXXIX
Why isn't 3899 written as MMMDCCCLXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3899 is MMMDCCCXCIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXCVIIII
Why isn't 3899 written as MMMDCCCXCVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3899 is MMMDCCCXCIX.
