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.

Thanks folks. I'll go crawl under my rock now. Jim, please pull this thread so I can show my face in decent company. In about a year or so.
