How MMDCCXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |

MMDCCXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 2749.
XL and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCIL
Why isn't 2749 written as MMDCCIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMDCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMDCCXXXXIX
Why isn't 2749 written as MMDCCXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2749 is MMDCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMDCCXLVIIII
Why isn't 2749 written as MMDCCXLVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2749 is MMDCCXLIX.
