2001 = MMI

2001 is written MMI in Roman numerals.

Step by step

  1. Split 2001 into place values: 2,000 + 1.
  2. 2,000 = MM
  3. 1 = I
  4. Join them from largest to smallest: MMI.

To read MMI back, go from left to right and add each value, treating a smaller symbol before a larger one as a single subtracted pair: M (1000) + M (1000) + I (1) = 2,001. As a year, MMI is the kind of numeral you see in film and TV copyright notices, on building cornerstones and on clock faces and monuments.

How it works

Roman numerals combine seven symbols — I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500) and M (1,000). Write each place value of the number separately, from thousands down to ones, and join the results. Six subtractive pairs replace four repeated symbols: IV (4), IX (9), XL (40), XC (90), CD (400) and CM (900). No symbol appears more than three times in a row.
