How MMMDCCXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 700 | DCC |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |

MMMDCCXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 3749.
XL and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCIL
Why isn't 3749 written as MMMDCCIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + DCC (700) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMMDCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCXXXXIX
Why isn't 3749 written as MMMDCCXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3749 is MMMDCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCXLVIIII
Why isn't 3749 written as MMMDCCXLVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3749 is MMMDCCXLIX.
