MMMCXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + C (100) + XL (40) + V (5) = 3145.

XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMCVL

Why isn't 3145 written as MMMCVL?

V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + C (100) + XL (40) + V (5) = MMMCXLV.

Wrong: MMMCXXXXV

Why isn't 3145 written as MMMCXXXXV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3145 is MMMCXLV.
