3 in Roman Numerals is III. There are seven symbols (alphabets) used in the Roman Numeral system. They are I, V, X , L, C, D and M. They represent the numbers 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, 300 and 1000 respectively. Since the number 3 is not a part of these 7 symbols, we represent the number 3 as a sum of 3 ones.
