MCCCXL is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CCC (300) + XL (40) = 1340.

XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MCCCXXXX

Why isn't 1340 written as MCCCXXXX?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 1340 is MCCCXL.
