MCCCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CCC (300) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 1394.

XC and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MCCCLXXXXIV

Why isn't 1394 written as MCCCLXXXXIV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 1394 is MCCCXCIV.

Wrong: MCCCXCIIII

Why isn't 1394 written as MCCCXCIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 1394 is MCCCXCIV.

Wrong: MCCCLXXXXIIII

Why isn't 1394 written as MCCCLXXXXIIII?

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make MCCCXCIV.
