Youngs modulus of elesticity

MMCS

I am trying to calculate youngs modulus of elasticity for results from a tensile test but cant seem to get a figure close to that of the common figure for the material

Material 0.1% carbon steel
Area = 20 x 10^-6
Yield force = 6009N
Length increase at yield force = 0.537mm = 0.000537m
Original length = 25.6mm = 0.0256m


E = σ/ε

E = (6006/20x10^-6) / (0.000537/0.0256)
E = 14.32 x 10⁹
Typical value = 207 x 10⁹

Iv obviously went very wrong somewhere but i dont know where

Thanks

Your calculations seem fine, what is the unit of the area? You can also make sure that the force is in N, not in kN or something.

The unit of area is m^2, and the force was 6.009 KN so 6009 N. Its way off the typical value though, it doesnt make sense?
