MMMXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 3049.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMIL

Why isn't 3049 written as MMMIL?

I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMMXLIX.

Wrong: MMMXXXXIX

Why isn't 3049 written as MMMXXXXIX?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3049 is MMMXLIX.

Wrong: MMMXLVIIII

Why isn't 3049 written as MMMXLVIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3049 is MMMXLIX.
