MMXV in Arabic numerals is 2,015.

Roman numerals use seven basic symbols: I = 1, V = 5, X = 10, L = 50, C = 100, D = 500, M = 1000. When reading from left to right, if a smaller symbol comes before a larger one, it subtracts (e.g., IV = 4). Otherwise, symbols add up, which does not happen in this case.

Step-by-step conversion of MMXV:

1. M = 1,000 → added as normal value.

2. M = 1,000 → added as normal value.

3. X = 10 → added as normal value.

4. V = 5 → added as normal value.

Final result: +1000 +1000 +10 +5 = 2,015 → 2015.
