How MMMCMXLV is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Thousands | 3000 | MMM |
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |

MMMCMXLV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + XL (40) + V (5) = 3945.
CM and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: MMMCMVL
Why isn't 3945 written as MMMCMVL?
V is never subtracted; only I, X and C can come before a larger symbol. Write each place separately: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + XL (40) + V (5) = MMMCMXLV.
Wrong: MMMDCCCCXLV
Why isn't 3945 written as MMMDCCCCXLV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3945 is MMMCMXLV.
Wrong: MMMCMXXXXV
Why isn't 3945 written as MMMCMXXXXV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 3945 is MMMCMXLV.
