How CMXXXVII is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 30 | XXX |
| Units | 7 | VII |
| Total | 937 | CMXXXVII |
CMXXXVII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XXX (30) + VII (7) = 937.
CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXXXVII
Why isn't 937 written as DCCCCXXXVII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 937 is CMXXXVII.
