How MMMCCXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |

MMMCCXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 3249.
XL and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCCIL
Why isn't 3249 written as MMMCCIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMMCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMCCXXXXIX
Why isn't 3249 written as MMMCCXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3249 is MMMCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMCCXLVIIII
Why isn't 3249 written as MMMCCXLVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3249 is MMMCCXLIX.
