Dozens of different things have the initials DMC.

They can be used for roman numerals: D=500, M=1000, and C=100.

DMC can mean Did mind coming, daily medical car, DeLorean Motor Company, Daimler Motor Company, Daelim Motor Company, Disaster Monitoring Constellation, among other things.

In case your asking in terms of Twenty century (ok Twenty first too) DMC is an eary rap phrase or hip hop, refers to Disc Master of Ceremony.

9000 can be written in several ways. The Romans themselves would have probably just written "IX mille", just as we would write "9 thousand" today.

However, during the Middle Ages, a form of notation was developed using the original symbol for M (1000), which was CIƆ (which could also be notated as ↀ). From this we got IƆ (500) which went on to become D. However, the original notation could be extended such that CCIƆƆ became 10,000. Thus 9,000 could be notated with the subtractive notation:

CIƆ CCIƆƆ (10,000-1,000)

There are some that claim the C and Ɔ can be used to enclose any numeral, such that 9,000 could be more simply notated as:

CIXƆ (9 x 1000)

Or even:

(IX)

However, there is no evidence that this form of notation was ever actually used, even in the Middle Ages.

The confusion possibly arises from the fact the Middle Ages saw another form of notation using vertical bars rather than C and Ɔ, which did permit any value to be enclosed. However, rather than multiplying the value by 1,000, the bars only multiply it by 100. Thus 9,000 could be notated as:

|XC| (90 x 100)

Middle Age notation also permitted an overline to multiply the value by 1,000, thus 9,000 could also be written:

__

IX (9 x 1000)

The above numbers converted into Roman numerals are IX, XC, M, CM and XI respectively and the Romans would have probably added them up in the following fashion:-

IX+XC = IC

IC+M = IMC

IMC+CM = IMM

IMM+XI = MMX

Hindu-Arabic conversion:-

9+90 = 99

99+1000 = 1099

1099+900 = 1999

1999+11 = 2010

For more complicated calculations the Romans would have used an abacus counting device.

MCMXLV is 1945 in Roman numerals. To figure this out, you must first know that M = 1000, C = 1000, X = 10, L = 50, and V = 5.

The first M shows us we are dealing with a figure of at least 1000.

Next, CM shows us '100 before 1000' so that means 900.

Then, XL shows us '10 before 50' so that means 40.

V equals 5.

M = 1000

CM = 900 + 1000 = 1900

XL = 40 + 1900 = 1940

V = 5 + 1940 = 1945

Because we are still taught the Roman numeral system under rules introduced during the Middle Ages which converts 99 into Roman numerals as XCIX (90+9 = 99) but these rules were made in a haphazard manner centuries after the fall of the Roman Empire.

In all probability the Romans themselves would have calculated 99 as LXXXXVIIII and by placing I to both sides of these numerals simplified them to IC (-1+100 = 99)

In fact the Latin word for 99 is "undecentum" which literally means one from a hundred.
