How CMXXXIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |

CMXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XXX (30) + IX (9) = 939.
CM and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXXXIX
Why isn't 939 written as DCCCCXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 939 is CMXXXIX.
Wrong: CMXXXVIIII
Why isn't 939 written as CMXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 939 is CMXXXIX.
Wrong: DCCCCXXXVIIII
Why isn't 939 written as DCCCCXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and VIIII are not used: 900 = CM, 9 = IX. Together they make CMXXXIX.
