Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 600: 400 × 600 ≈ 240,000 ac, against the exact 256,000 ac (6.3% out). Good enough to check that a calculated result is sensible.

Common mistakes

The usual slip is using the factor the wrong way round. A square mile is bigger than a acre, so the number of acres must come out larger than the number of square miles. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
