M=1000
CM=900
D=500
C=100
X=10
I=1
When the I is placed before a X then 1 is subtracted from 10 = 9
When the I is placed before a V then 1 is subtracted from 5 = 4
So 1000 + 900 + 10 + 10 +9 = 1929
The original answer was entirely deleted by WikiAnswers contributor Viki101 in whose view the answer should have been as the above. The original answer was as follows:
In today's terms the Roman numerals MCMXXIX represent the number 1929.
But in the times of the Romans themselves they would almost probably have written out 1929 as MDCCCCXXVIIII.
Here are some examples. MCM - 1900, MCMLVI - 1956, MCML - 1950, MCMXXIX - 1929. They follow the same sequence as any other Roman numerals. They are correctly known as Roman numerals and not Roman numbers. People use both phrases, but Roman numerals is the correct term. Roman numerals is one surviving example of Latin. An odd feature of the Roman numerals is that they do not use a zero.
1929
In todays modern notation of Roman numerals they represent: 3848
Expressed in Roman numerals, this is equal to DCXC.
47 is equal to XLVII in Roman numerals.
N is not a Roman numeral, but assuming you meant MCMXXIX instead, that would be 1929.
MCMXXIX is 1929.

In Roman numerals, it's equal to MDCXCVIII. In decimal notation, it's 1,698 .
XCIII is already expressed in Roman numerals. As Arabic numerals, it is equal to 93.
No, MMMM does not equal 2020 in Roman numerals. In Roman numerals, M represents 1000, and repeating it four times would result in 4000. To represent 2020 in Roman numerals, it would be written as MMXX.
