MMCCXLII
2,242 in Roman numerals is MMCCXLII.

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 2,242:

1. MM = 1,000 + 1,000 = 2,000 → M repeated 2 times.

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

3. XL = 50 - 10 = 40 → subtraction rule used.

4. II = 1 + 1 = 2 → I repeated 2 times.

So, 2,000 + 200 + 40 + 2 = 2,242, or MMCCXLII in Roman numeral form.
