<p><strong>Step 1:</strong>Break the numbers 800 + 90 + 9 = 899</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Add Roman Numerals for each part The Roman Numeral of 800 is DCCC. The Roman Numeral of 90 is XC. The Roman Numeral of 9 is IX.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2:</strong>Add Roman Numerals for each part The Roman Numeral of 800 is DCCC. The Roman Numeral of 90 is XC. The Roman Numeral of 9 is IX.</p>
20
<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Combine all the parts 800 (DCCC) + 90 (XC) + 9 (IX) = DCCCXCIX. Therefore, the Roman Numeral of 899 is DCCCXCIX.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Combine all the parts 800 (DCCC) + 90 (XC) + 9 (IX) = DCCCXCIX. Therefore, the Roman Numeral of 899 is DCCCXCIX.</p>
