How MMMCMLXVIII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 60 | LX |
| Units | 8 | VIII |
| Total | 3968 | MMMCMLXVIII |
MMMCMLXVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + LX (60) + VIII (8) = 3968.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXVIII
Why isn't 3968 written as MMMDCCCCLXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3968 is MMMCMLXVIII.
Wrong: MMMCMLXIIX
Why isn't 3968 written as MMMCMLXIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3968 is MMMCMLXVIII.
