When we're writing any numeral over 3,999 we begin utilizing the numeral bar or parentheses. Since we're writing in an electronic format, it would be impossible for us to utilize a bar over the top of the numerals - so we shall use parentheses.

First we need to understand what when we see a numeral inside parentheses, we're being informed that whatever is on the inside needs to be multiplied by 1000. Therefore, what times 1000 would give us 4000? 4. So we need to write (IV) to start. Now we write 40 in numerals, which is XL (50-10). So together, 4040 is (IV)XL
