How MMDCCCXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 800 | DCCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |

MMDCCCXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 2849.
XL and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCIL
Why isn't 2849 written as MMDCCCIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MM (2000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMDCCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCXXXXIX
Why isn't 2849 written as MMDCCCXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2849 is MMDCCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMDCCCXLVIIII
Why isn't 2849 written as MMDCCCXLVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 2849 is MMDCCCXLIX.
