1. **State the problem:** We need to find the sum of the following numbers: 5,000,000; 525,000; 700,000; 400,000; 420,000; 210,000; 50,000; 300,000; 60,000; 150,000; 100,000; 130,000; 50,000; 90,000; 972,000; 240,000. 2. **Formula used:** The sum of a list of numbers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n$ is given by $$\text{Sum} = \sum_{i=1}^n a_i = a_1 + a_2 + \cdots + a_n$$ 3. **Calculate the sum:** $$\begin{aligned} \text{Sum} &= 5,000,000 + 525,000 + 700,000 + 400,000 + 420,000 + 210,000 + 50,000 + 300,000 + 60,000 + 150,000 + 100,000 + 130,000 + 50,000 + 90,000 + 972,000 + 240,000 \\ &= 5,000,000 + 525,000 + 700,000 + 400,000 + 420,000 + 210,000 + 50,000 + 300,000 + 60,000 + 150,000 + 100,000 + 130,000 + 50,000 + 90,000 + 972,000 + 240,000 \\ &= 9,397,000 \end{aligned}$$ 4. **Explanation:** We simply add all the numbers together step-by-step to get the total sum. **Final answer:** The sum of the given numbers is **9,397,000**.
