**3,348 in Roman numerals: MMMCCCXLVIII**

3,348 is written MMMCCCXLVIII in Roman numerals. That is 11 symbol groups added together, reading left to right from the largest value down.

## How it breaks down

*MMMCCCXLVIII = 1000 + 1000 + 1000 + 100 + 100 + 100 + 40 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3,348*

| 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 |
| XL | 40 | L − X | 3,340 |

| I | 1 | — | 3,347 |
| I | 1 | — | 3,348 |

## Why the smaller symbol comes first

MMMCCCXLVIII uses subtractive notation in one place: XL means L minus X, or 40. 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.
