The Gravitational Constant. Also known as "Big G", because that's its variable representation in equations. Manywho? consider it to be the most difficult constant to measure. At the moment, I have to agree. I haven't found anything online that can tell me how to properly calculate it and I haven't communicated directly with anyone about it yet.

To the point. What are the variables involved and what do these variables represent? How should they interact with each other and other numbers? Assuming I have all the numbers, how much difficulty would I might encounter?

I don't really know what you're asking here. Just search "gravitational constant" on google, and it'll tell you.

I was asking what the numbers and variables were in the gravitational constant were, though I recognize them now. Turns out since I had no idea what the constant looked like, I often skimmed over the information of what it was.

Thanks, Someone Else. Now I have the equation in my calculator for later use as well as understand how and why it works.

Just use Planck units. Then the gravitational constant is defined as 1 (with appropriate dimensions, of course).
