Kepler’s third law formula: T^2=4pi^2*r^3/(GM)

We’re trying to find M, so:

M=4pi^2*r^3/(G*T^2)

M=4pi^2*(1.496 × 10^11 m)^3/((6.674× 10^-11N*m^2/kg^2)*(365.26days)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))

Let’s work with the units:

(m^3)/((N*m^2/kg^2)*days^2))=

=(m^3*kg^2)/(N*m^2*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/(N*days^2)

=(m*kg^2)/((kg*m/s^2)*days^2)

=(kg)/(days^2/s^2)

=(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

So:

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/(days^2)

Now we need to convert days to seconds in order to cancel them:

1 day=24 hours=24*60minutes=24*60*60s=86400s

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/((86400s)^2)

M=1.48× 10^40(kg*s^2)/( 86400^2*s^2)

M=1.48× 10^40kg/86400^2

M=1.98x10^30kg

The closest answer is 1.99 × 10^30

(it may vary a little with rounding – the difference is less than 1%)
