| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 1000 | M |
| Hundreds | 400 | C (subtracted)D |
| Tens | 30 | XXX |

MCDXXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: M (1000) + CD (400) + XXX (30) + IX (9) = 1439.
CD and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MCCCCXXXIX
Why isn't 1439 written as MCCCCXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 1439 is MCDXXXIX.
Wrong: MCDXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1439 written as MCDXXXVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 1439 is MCDXXXIX.
Wrong: MCCCCXXXVIIII
Why isn't 1439 written as MCCCCXXXVIIII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and VIIII are not used: 400 = CD, 9 = IX. Together they make MCDXXXIX.
