MCCXXV
1,225 in Roman numerals is MCCXXV.

Roman numerals use seven basic symbols: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1,000. The general rule is: reading left to right, values in descending order add up. When a smaller symbol comes before a larger one, it subtracts (e.g., IV = 4), which does not happen in this case.

Step-by-step conversion of 1,225:

1. M = 1,000 → represents thousands.

2. CC = 100 + 100 = 200 → C repeated 2 times.

3. XX = 10 + 10 = 20 → X repeated 2 times.

4. V = 5 → represents units.

So, 1,000 + 200 + 20 + 5 = 1,225, or MCCXXV in Roman numeral form.
