6,315 PointsNot sure what format you want the numbers in for question number 6. Only the millions or the full number?
Per my math the answer should be 17296000000 and no need to round to the nearest million as there are no fractional millions in the report. Not sure how to format the number to get this accepted.

Treehouse TeacherHi Michael Figueroa , I believe you are asking about this quiz question "What was Amazon’s total free cash flow for fiscal year 2018 rounded to the nearest million?" If not please point me to the question you are asking about :)
Anyhow, if that is the indeed the question you are asking about...yes round to the nearest millions, and remember free cash flow = operating cash flow + investing cash flow . The inputs for this formula can be found here.

In my previous attempt, I was using the 10-K directly from sec.gov and took the value from the line actually labeled as "Free cash flow", which they apparently get from net cash +(-) PPE. It is about $1B too high compared to the value I got this way.

231,236 PointsSince the answer to the previous question was specified in millions, I expect this one to be also.
But I have to admit I didn't not get this question either. I figured I was just calculating it incorrectly or starting with the wrong line of the form. I did have a different number than what you show here, though.
