Dear All

I want to know the formula to extract the longitude of the satellite from the TLE below.

I hope someone can help.
Thanks

There is no simple formula. Those numbers are given in the context of a particular model of satellite motion. You could, of course, compute what you need manually, once you understand the model. But it seems far simpler just to obtain software that would do it.
