MMMCMLI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: MMM (3000) + CM (900) + L (50) + I (1) = 3951.

CM is the only subtraction: the C before the M takes away 100, so CM = 900.

Common mistakes

Wrong: MMMDCCCCLI

Why isn't 3951 written as MMMDCCCCLI?

A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 3951 is MMMCMLI.
