MMMDCCXLVI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + VI (6) = 3746.

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

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMDCCXXXXVI

Why isn't 3746 written as MMMDCCXXXXVI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3746 is MMMDCCXLVI.
