How MMVII is built
Roman numerals are written one decimal place at a time, largest first.
- MMthousands · 2MM is 2 × M (1,000), written out 2 times.
- VIIones · 7V (5) plus II (2) makes 7.
2,000 + 7 = 2,007
No subtraction is needed here: every letter is the same size or smaller than the one before it, so you simply add them up.
Mistakes to avoid
- There's no letter for zero. The zeros are simply left out, which is why 2007 has 2 parts, not 4.
2007 for a tattoo or engraving
- Shortened to two digits ('07), it's VII. Many date tattoos use this shorter form.
- MMVII has 5 letters. 146 of the 201 years from 1900 to 2100 are longer.
- 2007 was not a leap year (365 days), and 1 January 2007 was a Monday.
