GDP per capita

[jeanlovesmath]

Hey guys,

Just a question about GDP - I know that Real GDP per capita = Real GDP/Population (correct me if I'm wrong) but in the attached table (for 2014), 209,366/4,513,000 does not equal 46,392 (the answer I got was 1000000 times smaller). Is there something wrong with my understanding of what Real GDP per capita is or is the Real GDP figure supposed to be in "millions" and this has been omitted from the table?

Cheers!

I suspect that clarification of the units has been omitted. It was probably in the fine print underneath the original table.
