MCMIL You have M for 1000, then to represent 900 you have CM (1000 - 100).

The 'smaller number' to the left of a larger number, means it is subtracted from the larger number (like IX means 10 - 1 or 9).

So then to get 49 we subtract 1 from 50: IL. So it is MCMIL

Additonal Information:-

In today's notation of Roman numerals 1949 is: MCMXLIX
