What is787 billion divided by 200 million?

Answer 1

3.935

Answer 2

Depending upon where you are:

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

1 billion = (10^6)^2 = 10^12

→ 787 billion ÷ 200 million = 787 × 10^12 ÷ (200 × 10^6) = (787 ÷ 200) × 10^(12-6) = 3.935 × 10^6 = 3.935 million = 3,935,000

• In those countries that use the short scale (based on powers of a thousand plus one), like USA:

1 billion = (10^3)^(2+1) = 10^9

→ 787 billion ÷ 200 million = 787 × 10^9 ÷ (200 × 10^6) = (787 ÷ 200) × 10^9-6 = 3.935 × 10^3 = 3,935
