How CMXLI is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 1 | I |

CMXLI is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XL (40) + I (1) = 941.
CM and XL are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXLI
Why isn't 941 written as DCCCCXLI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 941 is CMXLI.
Wrong: CMXXXXI
Why isn't 941 written as CMXXXXI?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 941 is CMXLI.
Wrong: DCCCCXXXXI
Why isn't 941 written as DCCCCXXXXI?
No symbol can be repeated four times in a row, so DCCCC and XXXX are not used: 900 = CM, 40 = XL. Together they make CMXLI.
