What is 2.5 trillion divided by 300 million?

Answer 1

• In those countries which use the long scale (based on powers of a million), eg Europe:

2.5 trillion ÷ 300 million = (2.5 x (106)3) ÷ (300 x 106)

= (2.5 ÷ 3) x ((106)2) ÷ 100)

≈ 8.333 x 103 x 106

≈ 8.333 thousand million

≈ 8.333 milliard

• In those countries which use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand + 1), eg USA:

2.5 trillion ÷ 300 million = (2.5 x (103)3+1) ÷ (300 x 106)

= (2.5 ÷ 3) x (106 ÷ 100)

≈ 8333
