MMCDXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XL (40) + V (5) = 2445.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMCDVL

Why isn't 2445 written as MMCDVL?

V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XL (40) + V (5) = MMCDXLV.

Wrong: MMCCCCXLV

Why isn't 2445 written as MMCCCCXLV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2445 is MMCDXLV.

Wrong: MMCDXXXXV

Why isn't 2445 written as MMCDXXXXV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2445 is MMCDXLV.
