Solution Steps

To convert the Hindu-Arabic numeral 3,425,217 to a Roman numeral, we need to break it down into its constituent parts and convert each part separately. However, since the options provided are already in Roman numerals, we can directly compare the given number with the options to find the correct one.

To convert the Hindu-Arabic numeral \( 3,425,217 \) to Roman numerals, we break it down into its components. The Roman numeral representation for \( 3,425,217 \) is \( M̅M̅M̅C̅D̅X̅X̅V̅CCXVII \).

Now, we compare the obtained Roman numeral \( M̅M̅M̅C̅D̅X̅X̅V̅CCXVII \) with the provided options:

• A. \( \overline{V X X C D M M M C C X V I} \)
• B. \( MMMXXVCCXVII \)
