CD and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCXL
Why isn't 2440 written as MMCCCCXL?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2440 is MMCDXL.
Wrong: MMCDXXXX
Why isn't 2440 written as MMCDXXXX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2440 is MMCDXL.
Wrong: MMCCCCXXXX

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and XXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 40 = XL. Together they make MMCDXL.
