Assuming the first guy's figures are correct, the only quibble I have with him is that he gives the final results with way too many significant digits. If the radius is known to 6 digits, then the answers are only known to that many digits and must be rounded off. It doesn't matter how accurate his values for pi and miles/kilometer are; they don't improve the accuracy of the first figure.
His numbers in scientific notation are:
2.27940 * 10^8
1.43219 * 10^9
1.41637 * 10^8
8.88919 * 10^8

The orbit is elliptical. If you assume it is circular with the average distance from the Sun as the radius, is 227,940,000 km and the circumference is 1,432,189,259 km. That is 141,637,066 miles in radius and 889,919,367 miles in circumference.
