A-Level Physics - [Question]

Anyone have an idea of what
GeVc2 GeVc^{-2} is or like how i can convert that to kilograms
I'll help you get started.
(GeV) / (c^2) = Gigaelectronvolt per speed of light squared

E = eV

Use E=mc^2

oh Yh thanks, just didnt realise GeV - was (Giga)eV thanks again.

Last thing so if its asking for resting energy (E)
0.106 GeVC^-2 shows this right:
m = 0.106GeV/c^2
So now all i have to do is convert 0.106GeV to eV then joules then that is the answer right?
