Whatmass of P4 is needed toProduce 500g of PF3 if the reaction has a 36.4% yield

What mass of P4 is needed to produce 500g of PF3 if the reaction has a 36.4% yield?

The equation is:
P4 + 6F2 --> 4PF3

I just need the starting amount of PF3 to do the stoichiometry.

Thanks

Current Attempt: (Which I know I messed up somewhere)

182g PF3  ____1mol PF3_____ * ____1mol P____ * ___30.974g P___   =
              ____87.968g PF3__    ____4mol PF3__    ____1mol P_____

Why starting amount of PF3, if PF3 is your product?

Initially don't bother with the yield.

How many moles of PF3 are to be produced?

How many moles of P4 needed for that?
