Thank goodness that I'm no longer looking for a job..

I'd have tried:

8 into one doesn't go.
8 into 13 does go once, carry 5.
8 into 58 does go 7 times, carry 2.
8 into 25 does go 3 times, carry 1.
8 into 12 goes once, carry 4
8 into 40 goes 5 times with no remainder.

So the solution is 1731.5

Thank goodness, SWTT that my mother patiently helped me with Roman numerals..
