Amazing mathematical equation from the Vilna Gaon

http://ezrashi.blogspot.com/search?q=chayey Amazing mathematical equation from the Vilna Gaon that 400 Shekel was Podeh the equivalent area for 600k people Parashat CHayey Sara
Four hundred shekels of silver (23:16) As per Leviticus 27:16, a
field the size of a beit-kur represents a value of 50 silver shekels. A beit-kur
contains 30 beit-se'ah and a beit-se'ah is an area 50 cubits by 50 cubits, or 2,500
square cubits; a square cubit (approx. 20 inches by 20 inches) is the space
occupied by a single person.Thus, the size of the field which Abraham purchased
for 400 silver shekels was eight kur, or 600,000 square cubits (2,500 x 30 x 8)--
the area required to hold the 600,000 souls of Israel.(The Vilna Gaon)
