Roman numerals are a numeral system that originated in ancient Rome and was used throughout Europe for centuries. Roman numerals are based on seven symbols: I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Each symbol represents a different value, and the value of a Roman numeral is determined by the position of the symbols in the number.
The symbol I represents the value 1, V represents 5, X represents 10, L represents 50, C represents 100, D represents 500, and M represents 1,000. To convert 1979 to Roman numerals, we start by looking at the thousands place. 1979 has one thousand, so we write M.
Next, we look at the hundreds place. 1979 has nine hundred, so we write CM (C for 100 and M for 1,000). Next, we look at the tens place. 1979 has seventy, so we write LXX (L for 50 and X for 10). Finally, we look at the ones place. 1979 has nine, so we write IX (I for 1 and X for 10).
Putting it all together, we get MCMLXXIX as the Roman numeral for 1979.
