MMDCCXX
2,720 in Roman numerals is MMDCCXX.

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 2,720:

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

2. D = 500 → represents hundreds.

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

4. XX = 10 + 10 = 20 → X repeated 2 times.

So, 2,000 + 500 + 200 + 20 = 2,720, or MMDCCXX in Roman numeral form.
