Facebook's user ids are generated sequentially. If you register a new account today, your user id (without padding) will be over 1.2 billion [1].

I also find it hard to believe that 75%+ of people who have -ever signed up for Facebook- would be active in the past month.

[1] Obviously not all of these are real, many could have been deleted, etc. But we're talking about gross number of accounts, not humans.
