How do you Calculating the escape velocity? I googled it but they give bad instructions on how to do it. What is the formula?

I set KE=GPE i get a velocity of 465,561 for a 10kg object. This doesn't seem right.
Every time I try using the formula i have i have to solve for V^2 and I get it to equal 35
3541. Is this right? I plug in the numbers like it says it I still don't get the right answer.
What formula are you using?
[itex]V^{2}=\frac{2GM}{R}[/itex] to find the escape velocity of the Earth and i get, 465561.808.
