| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |

MMMDCCCXLVIII is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + VIII (8) = 3848.
XL is the only subtraction: the X before the L takes away 10, so XL = 40.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCXXXXVIII
Why isn't 3848 written as MMMDCCCXXXXVIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3848 is MMMDCCCXLVIII.
Wrong: MMMCCMXLVIII
Why isn't 3848 written as MMMCCMXLVIII?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so CCM doesn't work. 800 is DCCC (500 + 300), so 3848 is MMMDCCCXLVIII.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXLIIX
Why isn't 3848 written as MMMDCCCXLIIX?
Only one smaller symbol can stand before a larger one, so IIX doesn't work. 8 is VIII (5 + 3), so 3848 is MMMDCCCXLVIII.
