Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCXLIII
Why isn't 3943 written as MMMDCCCCXLIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3943 is MMMCMXLIII.
Wrong: MMMCMXXXXIII
Why isn't 3943 written as MMMCMXXXXIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3943 is MMMCMXLIII.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCXXXXIII
Why isn't 3943 written as MMMDCCCCXXXXIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make MMMCMXLIII.
