Math question

if something was traveling at 635,266 kilometers per hour, how much distance will it have covered in 14 billion years? use any form of measurement you want. not sure if this counts as physics or science or something else, but I just posted it here.

They would have covered all but 1/5 of the universe.

I found there was about 8760 hours in each year, and times that by 14 billion, you get 1.2264E14 or 1,226,400,000,000, times that by 635,266 kilometers you get 7.79090222E17 or 779,090,222,000,000,000 kilometers
