Can someone help me with a Math Question?
My situation is I don't know how many Americans are located at various locations like:Guam, Alaska, San Juan, St. Thomas & St. John's Islands, etc-etc. (outside the 48 states). This factor is effecting the solution to the problem: "If every American gave an xtra $1.00 once a month to the U.S. Government, how quickly would the National Debt be paid off?"

there are approx. 311 million Americans and our current debt is $15,965,532,165,100 so 15,965,532,165,100 / 311,000,0000 = around $51,000 per person
$51,000/12months= over 4,200 years just to pay off the current debt.
