How MMXXV is built

Roman numerals are written one place value at a time, largest first. 2025 splits into 2000 (thousands) + 20 (tens) + 5 (ones), and each piece becomes its own group of symbols:

SymbolValueRunning totalNote
M10001000
M10002000
X102010
X102020
V52025

Read left to right, the symbols add up: 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 5 = 2025. MMXXV needs no subtractive pairs: every symbol in it is simply added, because no place value of 2025 is a 4 or a 9.

The symbol M (1000) is the largest one used to build MMXXV, and 1 through 100 has no other number that uses it.
