I am trying to find the gravitational force of a satelite traveling around the earth

Information given
Mass of Satelite: 3000 [kg]
Mass of Earth: 6*10^24 [kg]
G=7*10^-11
Distance from satelite to center of the earth = 6,004,000 [km]

I'm using Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation
Fg = (G*M1*M2)/(R^2)

I substitued all of it and I got Fg = 34953 (not sigs)

Can someoen else plugin or solve the problem with the given info and tell me what you get so that I can check if its right
