Here's a mental math flow for this estimate:
320,000 * 24,000 =(320 * 24) million (let's deal with the easy zeros first) ~=(300 * 20) million (underestimate) =(600 * 10) million = 6 billion (very roughly).
(320 * 24) million ~=(320 * 25) million (overestimate) =(80 * 100) million =8 billion.

Another flow: So we have a number between 6 and 8 billion, 7 sounds about right.
