MMCDXXXVI

MMCDXXXVI is the Roman numeral for the number 2436. It is constructed as MM (2000) + CD (400) + XXX (30) + VI (6), yielding 2436 in the standard additive-subtractive Roman numeral system. This numeral form adheres to the common conventions of classical Roman notation used in historical inscriptions and later scholarly works.

The notation includes subtractive and additive elements. CD denotes 400 (100 subtracted from 500) rather than writing 500 minus 100 as separate symbols. XXX denotes 30 and VI denotes 6. The overall arrangement follows the rule that only a smaller value placed before a larger value indicates subtraction, while sequencing other symbols adds values.

Modern usage of MMCDXXXVI is largely restricted to contexts where Roman numerals are used for stylistic or traditional reasons. It may appear in inscriptions, on clocks and monuments, as designations in film or literature, or to denote chapter or volume numbers. In standard Unicode-supported Roman numerals, 2436 is written as MMCDXXXVI.

As a number, 2436 factors as 2^2 × 3 × 7 × 29, making it divisible by 3, 7, and 29, as well as by 6 and 12. It is even and not a prime number. Its factorization highlights straightforward arithmetic properties that are independent of its Roman representation.
