Linden Labs posts there key meterics every month but list their overall land size differently than they do in their saily statistics. I just want to make sure I understand it, they do not include much explanation. The area of interest is here...

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pxbDc4B2FH95CQZTbN1Ixfg&gid=2

They have a note "Land Size (km2)"
Islands are lised as 491.32 total to date for May

Does this mean that it is 491,320? I know this is not correct.

or... 491,320,000 meters?

In other words 491.32 x 1,000,000 (km2)... is that correct?

Thanks for the math clarification...

Almost, but I think your problem is just a typo.

491.32 km2 = 491.32 x 1,000,000 m2
