MMDCCCLXIV
2,864 in Roman numerals is MMDCCCLXIV.

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 2,864:

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

2. D = 500 → represents hundreds.

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

4. L = 50 → represents tens.

5. X = 10 → represents tens.

6. IV = 5 - 1 = 4 → subtraction rule used.

So, 2,000 + 500 + 300 + 50 + 10 + 4 = 2,864, or MMDCCCLXIV in Roman numeral form.
