MMMCCXCIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CC (200) + XC (90) + IV (4) = 3294.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMCCLXXXXIV

Why isn't 3294 written as MMMCCLXXXXIV?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 90 is XC (100 − 10), not LXXXX, so 3294 is MMMCCXCIV.

Wrong: MMMCCXCIIII

Why isn't 3294 written as MMMCCXCIIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 3294 is MMMCCXCIV.

Wrong: MMMCCLXXXXIIII

Why isn't 3294 written as MMMCCLXXXXIIII?

No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so LXXXX and IIII are not used: 90 = XC, 4 = IV. Together they make MMMCCXCIV.
