D equals 500 and M equals 1,000. A smaller numeral in front of a larger numeral means you subtract the smaller number from the larger one. In this case, DM stands for 500. However, Roman Numerals should be written using the least amount of letters possible. In that case, DM is not a Roman Numeral. In its place is D, also meaning 500.
