How MMMCMXXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 20 | XX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3928 | MMMCMXXVIII |
MMMCMXXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + XX (20) + VIII (8) = 3928.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCXXVIII
Why isn't 3928 written as MMMDCCCCXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3928 is MMMCMXXVIII.
Wrong: MMMCMXXIIX
Why isn't 3928 written as MMMCMXXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3928 is MMMCMXXVIII.
