Determine the value of the gravitational constant G given the following information:

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81
earth's radius = 6.37 x 10^6 m
earth's mass = 5.98 x 10^24 kg

I keep getting 1.045 x 10^-17 (which I know is wrong)

Can someone please do the question, with working out? Thanks in advance
