And how would you write 35,863,120 in Roman numerals?

I have a feeling that it was written out and not done in Roman numerals.

==== ________
CCCLDCCCLXMMMCXX

Took some liberty with the double overline above CCCL. It was suggested on a site, but couldn't find any examples. A single overline (like over the DCCCLX indicates *1000), so a double indicates *1,000,000 (*1000*1000).

Had flashbacks to Catholic School there and a sudden urge to watch Blues Brothers....
