Wikipedia estimates the total population of Africa at:
843,705,143

So take 1,000,000,000,000 / 843,705,143

The answer is:
$1,185.25

divide the 1 trillion by the population of Africa. Wikipedia gives 840 million as the figure, so 1 trillion / 840 million = 1190.47, and you'd have about 5.2 million left over, not enough to hand out another 0.01 to everyone.

Divided 1 trillion dollars by every person in Africa and you will find your quotient.

Let I = each individual in Africa

We have:

I = 1,000,000,000,000/each individual in Africa.

The population of Africa is estimated to be around 900 million, so the every person would get $1,111.11

I have no choice but to use published data for population numbers for your question....see link below:

Pop Africa = 9x10^6

1 trillion [dollars] = 1x10^10^12

This comes out to about $111.00 per person.
Sounds like a George Bush campaign promise......I mean wet-dream....I mean promise.

For this you need to know how many people are in Africa. Take 1,000,000,000,000/ People in Africa.
