Fact Check

Quoted text:

Socrates’s number—and it is about half the precession of the equinoxes—is 12,960,000. This represents 36,002

Elaborate: Can you help us explain/check that the notation is correct here (are there any numbers that should be in superscript that are not)? How does 12,960,000 represent 36,002?
