Roman numerals are not used as widely today because they are not as efficient or easily understandable as the Hindu-Arabic numeral system. Arabic numerals are a positional numeral system, meaning that the value of a digit is determined by its position in the number. This makes arithmetic and mathematical operations much simpler. Additionally, Arabic numerals are simpler and quicker to write, which contributes to their widespread use.

What is the roman numeral of two hundred sixty thousand?
IThe easiest way to note down a number is to make that many marks - little I's. Thus I means 1, II means 2, III means 3. However, four strokes seemed like too many....VSo the Romans moved on to the symbol for 5 - V. Placing I in front of the V - or placing any smaller number in front of any larger number - indicates subtraction. So IV means 4. After V comes a series of additions - VI means 6, VII means 7, VIII means 8.XX means 10. But wait - what about 9? Same deal. IX means to subtract I from X, leaving 9. Numbers in the teens, twenties and thirties follow the same form as the first set, only with X's indicating the number of tens. So XXXI is 31, and XXIV is 24.LL means 50. Based on what you've learned, I bet you can figure out what 40 is. If you guessed XL, you're right = 10 subtracted from 50. And thus 60, 70, and 80 are LX, LXX and LXXX.CC stands for centum, the Latin word for 100. A centurion led 100 men. We still use this in words like "century" and "cent." The subtraction rule means 90 is written as XC. Like the X's and L's, the C's are tacked on to the beginning of numbers to indicate how many hundreds there are: CCCLXIX is 369.DD stands for 500. As you can probably guess by this time, CD means 400. So CDXLVIII is 448. (See why we switched systems?)MM is 1,000. You see a lot of Ms because Roman numerals are used a lot to indicate dates. For instance, this page was written in the year of Nova Roma's founding, 1998 CE (Common Era; Christians use AD for Anno Domini, "year of our Lord"). That year is written as MCMXCVIII. But wait! Nova Roma counts years from the founding of Rome, ab urbe condita. By that reckoning Nova Roma was founded in 2751 a.u.c. or MMDCCLI.
V
Larger numbers were indicated by putting a horizontal line over them, which meant to multiply the number by 1,000. Hence the V at left has a line over the top, which means 5,000. This usage is no longer current, because the largest numbers usually expressed in the Roman system are dates, as discussed above.

What is ccclxxxix in our numaral?
remember in Roman numerals, if a lower value letter precedes (to the left of) a higher value letter then the lower value is subtracted from the higher value.
Example IX = 10 - 1 = 9. IV = 5 -1 = 4
For this one, we have C = 100, L = 50, X = 10 & I = 1
CCCLXXXIX:
CCC is 3 hundreds, then add 50 for L, then XXX is 3 tens (30), then IX = 9 (see above)
so 300 + 50 + 30 + 9 = 389
What is the number 7887 in roman numerals?
The number 7887 in Roman numerals is written as VMMMDCCCLXXXVII.
The term "iii vi ix" does not have a specific meaning in common usage. It appears to be a combination of Roman numerals (iii = 3, vi = 6, ix = 9), but without further context, it is unclear what it is referring to. It could potentially represent a set of numbers or be a code for something specific.
