Quick estimate in your head

For a rough answer, multiply by about 40000: 5,000 × 40000 ≈ 200,000,000 ft2, against the exact 217,800,000 ft2 (8.2% 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 acre is bigger than a square foot, so the number of square feet must come out larger than the number of acres. If your answer goes the other way, divide instead of multiplying.
