When we exceed 3,999 as a Roman Numeral, we introduce the use of a special marking called a vinculum - a special bar placed above a numeral denoting multiplication of that numeral by 1000.

This special marking is not encoded on most computers so we utilize parentheses to denote this same operation.

Therefore, we're going to look for the largest number we can represent where we don't exceed more than three of the same numerals side=by=side and a numeral we can make where when we multiply it by 1000, will equal out to our number.

If we were to select 200 vs 2000, we would yield two different answers.

(MM) = 2000 x 1000 = 2,000,000.
(CC) = 200 x 1000 = 200,000

Therefore, 200,000 is (CC) or (100 + 100) * 1000 = 200,000.
