MMCDXL
2,440 in Roman numerals is MMCDXL.

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 2,440:

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

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

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

So, 2,000 + 400 + 40 = 2,440, or MMCDXL in Roman numeral form.
