How CMXLIX is formed
| Place | Value | Symbols |
|---|---|---|
| Hundreds | 900 | C (subtracted)M |
| Tens | 40 | X (subtracted)L |
| Units | 9 | I (subtracted)X |
| Total | 949 | CMXLIX |
CMXLIX is written one place at a time, from the largest to the smallest: CM (900) + XL (40) + IX (9) = 949.
CM, XL, and IX are subtractive pairs: in each one the smaller symbol comes first and is taken away.
Common mistakes
Wrong: CMIL
Why isn't 949 written as CMIL?
I can only be subtracted from V and X, so IL (50 − 1) is not a valid pair. Write each place separately: CM (900) + XL (40) + IX (9) = CMXLIX.
Wrong: DCCCCXLIX
Why isn't 949 written as DCCCCXLIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 900 is CM (1000 − 100), not DCCCC, so 949 is CMXLIX.
Wrong: CMXXXXIX
Why isn't 949 written as CMXXXXIX?
A symbol can't be repeated four times in a row. 40 is XL (50 − 10), not XXXX, so 949 is CMXLIX.
