300 in Roman Numerals
300 is written as CCC in Roman numerals.
How CCC is built
Roman numerals are written one place value at a time, largest first. 300 splits into 300 (hundreds), and each piece becomes its own group of symbols:
| Symbol | Value | Running total | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| C | 100 | 100 | |
| C | 100 | 200 | |
| C | 100 | 300 |
Read left to right, the symbols add up: 100 + 100 + 100 = 300. CCC needs no subtractive pairs: every symbol in it is simply added, because no place value of 300 is a 4 or a 9.
The symbol C (100) is the largest one used to build CCC -- it also shows up in 11 other numbers between 1 and 100.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 300 in Roman numerals?
300 in Roman numerals is CCC. It is built from 3 symbol groups: C (100), C (100), C (100).
How do you write CCC as a number?
Add the symbol values left to right, subtracting whenever a smaller symbol sits before a larger one: 100 + 100 + 100 = 300.

No. None of the place values of 300 is a 4 or a 9, so every symbol in CCC is simply added.
What comes before and after 300 in Roman numerals?
299 is CCXCIX and 301 is CCCI. Counting up in Roman numerals changes only the lowest place until it rolls over, the same way decimal digits do.

CCC is 3 characters long. Roman numerals don't get longer in a straight line with the number they represent -- CCXCIX (299) is 6 characters and CCCI (301) is 4 characters, because each number is rebuilt from scratch out of the largest symbols that fit, not incremented digit by digit.
