MCDLXXIX
1,479 in Roman numerals is MCDLXXIX.

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 happens in this case.

Step-by-step conversion of 1,479:

1. M = 1,000 → represents thousands.

2. CD = 500 - 100 = 400 → subtraction rule used.

3. L = 50 → represents tens.

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

5. IX = 10 - 1 = 9 → subtraction rule used.

So, 1,000 + 400 + 50 + 20 + 9 = 1,479, or MCDLXXIX in Roman numeral form.
