find the length of the cube "a" of the lattice of iron Fe at room temperature if the density of iron is 7.87g/cm3

i know that 7.87=m/V = m/a^3

a=(m/7.87)^1/3

Mw=55.845

a=[(n*55.845)/(NA*7.87)]^1/3

have i done this correctly?
but how do i know how many atoms there are, what kind of lattice is FE? BCC FCC SC ...??
