MMCCXXIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CC (200) + XX (20) + IX (9) = 2229.

IX is the only subtraction: the I before the X takes away 1, so IX = 9.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMCCXXVIIII

Why isn't 2229 written as MMCCXXVIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2229 is MMCCXXIX.
