E = mc2

How kJ are released to form one mole of 204Pb from protons and neutrons if the atom has a mass of 203.973020 amu?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think I'm supposed to use E = mc2
I just plug in E = (.203973020kg)(3 X 10^8)^2.
I get a wrong answer.
