It's actually pretty simple.
The best way to wrap your head around the difference between millions, billions, and trillions is to think about time:
a million seconds is roughly 11.5 days
a billion seconds is about 31.5 years
a trillion seconds is 31,680 years!
Those Calculators expired ages ago—just toss the Calculator and buy a regular one.
700 billion = 700,000,000,000
6.7 billion = 6,700,000,000
700 billion / 6.7 billion = 700,000,000,000 / 6,700,000,000 = 700 / 6.7 = $104.48.
If the Windows calculator is lying, then I am too...
