CMXLIV is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XL (40) + IV (4) = 944.
CM, XL, and IV are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: DCCCCXLIV
Why isn't 944 written as DCCCCXLIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 944 is CMXLIV.
Wrong: CMXXXXIV
Why isn't 944 written as CMXXXXIV?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 944 is CMXLIV.
Wrong: CMXLIIII
Why isn't 944 written as CMXLIIII?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 4 is IV (5 − 1), not IIII, so 944 is CMXLIV.
