How MMMCMLXXXII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 80 | LXXX |
| Units | 2 | II |

MMMCMLXXXII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + LXXX (80) + II (2) = 3982.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCCLXXXII
Why isn't 3982 written as MMMDCCCCLXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3982 is MMMCMLXXXII.
Wrong: MMMCMXXCII
Why isn't 3982 written as MMMCMXXCII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so XXC doesn't work. 80 is LXXX (50 + 30), so 3982 is MMMCMLXXXII.
