2.4 mol of a gas at a temperature of -140 C fills a 5.0 L container. What is the gas pressure?

I've used the ideal gas equation pv=nrt and rearranged to p=nrt/v

coming up with p=[2.4 mol x 8.31 J*mol-1*K-1 x 133K]/5.0 L

I am coming up with 530 Pa, converting it to atm I am getting 0.0052 atm which is the wrong answer.
