MMCDXCII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CD (400) + XC (90) + II (2) = 2492.
CD and XC are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMCCCCXCII
Why isn't 2492 written as MMCCCCXCII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 400 is CD (500 − 100), not CCCC, so 2492 is MMCDXCII.
Wrong: MMCDLXXXXII
Why isn't 2492 written as MMCDLXXXXII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 2492 is MMCDXCII.
Wrong: MMCCCCLXXXXII
Why isn't 2492 written as MMCCCCLXXXXII?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so CCCC and LXXXX are not used: 400 = CD, 90 = XC. Together they make MMCDXCII.
