MMMDCCLXXXIX
3,789 in Roman numerals is MMMDCCLXXXIX.

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 3,789:

1. MMM = 1,000 + 1,000 + 1,000 = 3,000 → M repeated 3 times.

2. D = 500 → represents hundreds.

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

4. L = 50 → represents tens.

5. XXX = 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 → X repeated 3 times.

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

So, 3,000 + 500 + 200 + 50 + 30 + 9 = 3,789, or MMMDCCLXXXIX in Roman numeral form.
