Divide:
186,000/8,000=23.25
That means the jet would circle the Earth 23 times. Keep in mind this is per second, not per hour (mph). So it literally means the jet is moving 8,000 miles per second and would encircle the Earth 23 times in 23 seconds.

This is the bit I don't get. Why would it take 23 seconds for him to travel round the world 23 times, when you just said that light can travel around the world 23 times in just one second? That would imply that Gotenks is moving at only 1/23 the speed of light, not faster than it.
