Are you allowed to assume you can say one number in one second? Are you assuming that the person saying the numbers will not sleep or eat during the time that they are saying the numbers?
So to count to a million you would need 1 million seconds. SO take a million seconds a divide by 60 to get to minutes. Divide by 60 again to get to hours then divide by 24 to get to days. You will end up with 11.5740740740... days to count to a million.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

considering that some numbers are going to take a long time to say, for instance;
(777777) Seven Hundred and Seventy Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred and Seventy seven, etc, etc, I would put it at one number per second average. So, 1 Million seconds is 11 and 1/2 days. Non stop.

IT depends on how fast they count, if the count one number per second, then it would take a million seconds, or ninety one hours per month for one year.

Depends on how quickly you count and if you're counting out loud or not. If you count out loud, you would no doubt have to take a break to drink some water.

Estimating three seconds per number (because 524,787 and most other six-digit numbers take closer to three seconds than two).
That's 3 million seconds.
50,000 minutes
833 hours
34.72 days.
Mind you, that's not counting time to breathe, sleep, eat, drink, pee, or any other biological interruption.

Depends on how fast you can count. Chuck Norris has counted to infinity, twice!
