To convert the number 967 into Roman numerals, we can break it down into its components:

1. **Break down the number**:
- 967 can be expressed as 900 + 60 + 7.

2. **Convert each component to Roman numerals**:
- **900**: The Roman numeral for 900 is **CM** (C is 100, so CM means 100 less than 1000).
- **60**: The Roman numeral for 60 is **LX** (L is 50 and X is 10, so together they make 60).
- **7**: The Roman numeral for 7 is **VII** (V is 5 and II is 2, so together they make 7).

3. **Combine the Roman numerals**:
- Now, we combine the Roman numerals we found:
- 900 (CM) + 60 (LX) + 7 (VII) = CMLXVII.

Thus, the Roman numeral for 967 is **CMLXVII**.
