MMMCLXXIX

MMMCLXXIX is the Roman numeral designation for the integer 3179. It is typically read as “three thousand one hundred seventy-nine.” The numeral is formed by the combination MMM (3000) and CLXXIX (179). CLXXIX itself is composed of C (100), L (50), XX (20), and IX (9). The IX uses subtractive notation, representing 9 by placing I before X, while the other components are additive. Thus, 3179 = 3000 + 100 + 50 + 20 + 9.

In practice, such a numeral might appear in historical inscriptions, on clock faces, or in stylized typography
