So, here’s the last-ditch explanation via Wookieepedia:
One last solution is to return to the vague term “unit” which Lama Su mentioned. If a “unit” were to be referring to one of the battalions of 576 troopers (seen on Coruscant), then 200,000 of these would render 115,200,000 clones and the 1,000,000 others spoken of as 576,000,000. This grand total of 691,200,000 would be far more suitable for the core of a galactic army. Furthermore, if a “unit” refers to a real-life division of 15,000 men, the 1,200,000 units would equal a force of 18,000,000,000 clones, a truly “grand” army, suitable for defeating the huge numbers of droids under the Confederacy.
You can dig deeper into the whole “3 Million Clones” discussion at Wookieepedia, too. Personally, I like “battalion” as the substitute for “unit” more than the 1:1 ratio of them. How about you? Chime in via the comments!
