I'm truly not good at math, so don't understand that. The original post said 1,800,000 billion for the first number and 720 billion for the second number. Isn't 1,800,000 written numerically the same as one million, 800 thousand written textually? If yes, isn't the first number 1.8 trillion, not billion? If yes, then when written numerically, shouldn't it be 1,800,000,000?
