DCXCIV
694 in Roman numerals is DCXCIV.

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 694:

1. D = 500 → represents hundreds.

2. C = 100 → represents hundreds.

3. XC = 100 - 10 = 90 → subtraction rule used.

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

So, 500 + 100 + 90 + 4 = 694, or DCXCIV in Roman numeral form.
