There are manuscripts that exist even today dating back to the Middle Ages which show that the Roman numeral system sometimes used superscript numerals to indicate multiplication similar to what we do today to denote powers of a number with exponents.

For example: CCL is written as IICL meaning 2*100+50 = 250

Likewise: 8502610 in Roman numerals would work out as MVIIIDMMDCX but with an horizontal bar above the first and second numeral of M and D to indicate multiplication by a thousand.

Hence:

1000000*8+500000+2000+610 = 8502610

Incidentally, a numeral with a bar or line above it plus a vertical line each side of it indicates muliplication by 100000

Roman numerals: M=1000, D=500, C=100, L=50, X=10, V=5, I=1
