MMCCCXCVI
2,396 in Roman numerals is MMCCCXCVI.

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 2,396:

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

2. CCC = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300 → C repeated 3 times.

3. XC = 100 - 10 = 90 → subtraction rule used.

4. V = 5 → represents units.

5. I = 1 → represents units.

So, 2,000 + 300 + 90 + 5 + 1 = 2,396, or MMCCCXCVI in Roman numeral form.
