CCLXIX
269 in Roman numerals is CCLXIX.

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 269:

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

2. L = 50 → represents tens.

3. X = 10 → represents tens.

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

So, 200 + 50 + 10 + 9 = 269, or CCLXIX in Roman numeral form.
