How MMMDCCCXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |

| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |

| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |

MMMDCCCXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 3849.
XL and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMDCCCIL
Why isn't 3849 written as MMMDCCCIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + DCCC (800) + XL (40) + IX (9) = MMMDCCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXXXXIX
Why isn't 3849 written as MMMDCCCXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3849 is MMMDCCCXLIX.
Wrong: MMMDCCCXLVIIII
Why isn't 3849 written as MMMDCCCXLVIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 9 is IX (10 − 1), not VIIII, so 3849 is MMMDCCCXLIX.
