MMMDCXLII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DC (600) + XL (40) + II (2) = 3642.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMDCXXXXII

Why isn't 3642 written as MMMDCXXXXII?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3642 is MMMDCXLII.
