MMMDXLIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + D (500) + XL (40) + III (3) = 3543.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMDXXXXIII

Why isn't 3543 written as MMMDXXXXIII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3543 is MMMDXLIII.
