MMMCMVI

MMMCMVI is a Roman numeral that encodes the integer 3906. It is composed of the symbols M, C, V, and I arranged as MMM (3000) + CM (900) + VI (6). The CM sequence employs subtractive notation, where a smaller value precedes a larger one to indicate subtraction (1000 minus 100 equals 900).

In the classical Roman numeral system, numbers are typically written within the range 1 to 3999 when using standard subtractive notation without overlines. The value 3906 falls within this range and does not require any overbars to signify multiplication by 1000. Although large numerals can be extended with overlines, MMMCMVI is a conventional expression for 3906 using ordinary symbols.

Usage of such numerals appears in specific formal contexts, including inscriptions, enumerations of monarchs or popes, chapter headings, clock faces, or certain model numbers. The numeral MMMCMVI would be read aloud as "three thousand nine hundred six."

Conversion between numeral systems yields an Arabic numeral of 3906. When reading or writing, subtractive pairs are recognized as single values (for example, CM equals 900). See also: Roman numerals; subtractive notation.
