    moles = grams/molar mass
Substitute "number formula units" for moles. Substitute "mass formula unit" for molar mass. Solve for moles.
0.04/about 58.5 or so. You do it more precisely.

    so do i have to convert .4 mg to grams first? that would be .0004 right?
so then i just divide .004/58.44 and that will be my answer?

    Yes, and I notice I didn't see the decimal point. 
0.4 mg = 0.0004 grams and that divided by 58.44 = ?? formula units.
    
0.4 mg = 0.0004 grams and that divided by 58.44 = ?? formula units.
