| Thousands | 2000 | MM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |

MMCMXLI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MM (2000) + CM (900) + XL (40) + I (1) = 2941.
CM and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMDCCCCXLI
Why isn't 2941 written as MMDCCCCXLI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 2941 is MMCMXLI.
Wrong: MMCMXXXXI
Why isn't 2941 written as MMCMXXXXI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 2941 is MMCMXLI.
Wrong: MMDCCCCXXXXI
Why isn't 2941 written as MMDCCCCXXXXI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make MMCMXLI.
