# 3,304 in Roman numerals

**3,304 in Roman numerals: MMMCCCIV**

3,304 is written MMMCCCIV in Roman numerals. That is 7 symbol groups added together, reading left to right from the largest value down.

## How it breaks down

*MMMCCCIV = 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 4 = 3,304*

| Group | Value | Subtraction | Running total |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| M | 1,000 | — | 1,000 |
| M | 1,000 | — | 2,000 |
| M | 1,000 | — | 3,000 |
| C | 100 | — | 3,100 |
| C | 100 | — | 3,200 |
| C | 100 | — | 3,300 |
| IV | 4 | V − I | 3,304 |

## Why the smaller symbol comes first

MMMCCCIV uses subtractive notation in one place: IV means V minus I, or 4. A smaller symbol placed before a larger one is subtracted from it rather than added, which is why IX is nine and not eleven.

Only six such pairs are valid — IV, IX, XL, XC, CD and CM. That restriction is what makes the notation unambiguous: IIII and IC both look like they should work, but neither is standard, and only one spelling of any number is correct.
