2000 in Roman Numerals

2000 in Roman numerals is written as MM. The reason for this is that the letter M stands for 1000, and repeating it twice gives 2000. Unlike some large numbers, using subtraction rules (e.g., IV for 4 or IX for 9), 2000 is written straightforwardly by adding two M’s together.

Roman numerals are an ancient number system based on letters instead of digits. The main symbols are I, V, X, L, C, D, and M. Must create large numbers; these symbols are repeated or combined. The number 2000 is a single case where the two 1000s (M + M) are added.
