CMVII
907 is written CMVII in Roman numerals. That is 4 symbol groups added together, reading left to right from the largest value down.
How it breaks down
| Group | Value | Subtraction | Running total |
|---|---|---|---|
| CM | 900 | M − C | 900 |
| V | 5 | — | 905 |
| I | 1 | — | 906 |
| I | 1 | — | 907 |
Why the smaller symbol comes first
CMVII uses subtractive notation in one place: CM means M minus C, or 900. 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.
