MMDXVIII
2,518 in Roman numerals is MMDXVIII.

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 2,518:

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

2. D = 500 → represents hundreds.

3. X = 10 → represents tens.

4. V = 5 → represents units.

5. III = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 → I repeated 3 times.

So, 2,000 + 500 + 10 + 5 + 3 = 2,518, or MMDXVIII in Roman numeral form.
