How do i rearrange the randles-sevcik equation to find the diffusion coefficient?

ip=(269000)n^3/2AD^1/2Cv^1/2

Where ip= peak current
n=stoichiometry
A=electrode area
D= Diffusion coefficient
C=concentration
v=scan rate

I am trying to find the diffusion coefficient. I have the values was just wondering how to get D (the coefficient) on it's own..

This is a simple, high school algebra. Move everything but D1/2 to one side of the equation, think what operation you can do (on both sides) to get D.
