Nope. 3,400,000,000 dollars (that's billion) divided by 1,200,000 people (that's million) equals $2,833,333 (as in million dollars).

Sorry Steamship, you're still wrong. The way my daddy used to divide those big numbers was to strike out an equal number of zeroes:

$3,400,000,000 for 1,200,000 people

there are five zeroes in 1,200,000 so strike five zeroes on each side to give

$34,000 for 12 people which should pretty obviously lead to $2,800 and change per head.
