Answer: C. 71,224,900

Based on the power, move the decimal point that many spaces to the right. (e.g., If it's 7.9 × 10^3, then move the decimal three spaces to the right, and you'd get 7900.)

3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900

9.897752 × 10^6 = 9897752

2.468 × 10^7 = 24680000

Out of all the numbers mentioned in the question, 71,224,900 is the only one that's greater than 3.14159 × 10^7 = 31415900.
