What does MMMMM is equal to what in Roman Numerals?

Answer 1

The Roman numeral M represents 1000. You might therefore suppose that MMMMM might equal 5000 but according to the rules of writing Roman numerals a numeral should only be written a maximum of three times in succession. So although MMM = 3000 is correct MMMMM is not a real Roman numeral at all. The correct Roman numeral for 5000 is either V with a horizontal bar placed above it or [V]
