MMMCDLXXXVIII

MMMCDLXXXVIII is the Roman numeral for the integer 3388. It is formed from M (1000) repeated three times to yield 3000, followed by CD (400) as a subtractive pair, then LXXX (80) and VIII (8). The total is 3000 + 400 + 80 + 8 = 3388. This representation uses the subtractive notation for 400 (CD) and additive notation for the remaining values, consistent with common Roman numeral rules.

In modern usage, numbers up to 3999 are typically written using standard Roman numerals without overlines. MMMCDLXXXVIII is therefore a valid and conventional way to express 3388 in this system. The numeral demonstrates how thousands are denoted by repeated Ms, and how smaller values are appended to form the final total. In teaching and reference works, MMMCDLXXXVIII serves as an example of mixing thousands, hundreds (with subtractive notation), tens, and units in a single numeral. Beyond its numeric value, the string has no special meaning and is primarily of interest as an instructional instance of Roman numeral composition.
