MMCMXX
2,920 in Roman numerals is MMCMXX.

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 2,920:

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

2. CM = 1000 - 100 = 900 → subtraction rule used.

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

So, 2,000 + 900 + 20 = 2,920, or MMCMXX in Roman numeral form.
