I was able to come up with this solution.
function convertToRoman(num) {

var myNum = num;
let myNumFunc = num => Number(num);
var arrNums = Array.from(String(myNum), myNumFunc);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

var groupI = function(value){
var I = {
0:"",
1:"I",
2:"II",
3:"III",
4:"IV",
5:"V",
6:"VI",
7:"VII",
8:"VIII",
9:"IX"

};
return I[value];
}
var groupX = function(value){
var X = {
0:"",
1:"X",
2:"XX",
3:"XXX",
4:"XL",
5:"L",
6:"LX",
7:"LXX",
8:"LXXX",
9:"XC"
};
return X[value];
}
var groupC = function(value){
var C ={
0:"",
1:"C",
2: "CC",
3: "CCC",
4: "CD",
5: "D",
6: "DC",
7: "DCC",
8: "DCCC",
9: "CM"
};
return C[value];
}
var groupM = function(value){
var M ={
0:"",
1:"M",
2: "MM",
3: "MMM",
4: "MMMM",
5: "MMMMM"

    };
    return M[value];
}
   let result = [""];      
   if (arrNums.length === 1){ 
    result = groupI(arrNums[0]);   
   } 
 if (arrNums.length === 2){ 
      result = groupX(arrNums[0]);  
      result += groupI(arrNums[1]);    
 } 
 if (arrNums.length === 3){ 
    result = groupC(arrNums[0]);  
     result += groupX(arrNums[1]); 
     result += groupI(arrNums[2]);
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

}
if (arrNums.length === 4){
result = groupM(arrNums[0]);

result += groupC(arrNums[1]);
result += groupX(arrNums[2]);
result += groupI(arrNums[3]);

}
return result;
}

console.log(convertToRoman(5916));
