MMCDXXXIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XXX (30) + IV (4) = 2434.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMCCCCXXXIV

Why isn't 2434 written as MMCCCCXXXIV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2434 is MMCDXXXIV.

Wrong: MMCDXXXIIII

Why isn't 2434 written as MMCDXXXIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 2434 is MMCDXXXIV.

Wrong: MMCCCCXXXIIII

Why isn't 2434 written as MMCCCCXXXIIII?

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and IIII are not used: 400 = CD, 4 = IV. Together they make MMCDXXXIV.
