How MMMCML is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 50 | L |
| Total | 3950 | MMMCML |
MMMCML is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + L (50) = 3950.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMLM
Why isn't 3950 written as MMMLM?
L is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + L (50) = MMMCML.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCL
Why isn't 3950 written as MMMDCCCCL?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3950 is MMMCML.
