How MMXXX is built

Roman numerals are written one place value at a time, largest first. 2030 splits into 2000 (thousands) + 30 (tens), and each piece becomes its own group of symbols:

SymbolValueRunning totalNote
M10001000
M10002000
X102010
X102020
X102030

Read left to right, the symbols add up: 1000 + 1000 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 2030. MMXXX needs no subtractive pairs: every symbol in it is simply added, because no place value of 2030 is a 4 or a 9.

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