Finding Surface Area for a 1 Farad Parallel Plate Capacitor

[Lancelot59]

I need to find the required surface area for a 1 farad parallel plate capacitor with separation of 2mm.

I used this formula:
C=\frac{\epsilon_{0}A}{s}
E0 is 8.85x10^-12
S is 0.002 m

I got 225988700.6 square meters, which is off by a factor of 1000. Is the solution wrong, or am I?

I get basically the same answer (I use 8.854*10^-12 F/m). Is there anyone else doing this problem set that you can check answers with?
