How MMMCMLXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 70 | LXX |
| Units | 2 | II |
| Total | 3972 | MMMCMLXXII |
MMMCMLXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + LXX (70) + II (2) = 3972.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXXII
Why isn't 3972 written as MMMDCCCCLXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3972 is MMMCMLXXII.
