This means,
Proton mass in grams MP= 1.673*10-24 grams
Proton charge e= 1.602*10-19 coulombs
e/MP=95756 Coulombs per gram, which is approximately equal to Faraday's constant.
e/MP=NAe where NA is Avogadro's number.
since the value of NA is not so certain the equations should balance.
This could produce a more accurate NA which is 5.977*1023mol-1
No have a look at international conventions. F is defined by 12 g neutral 12C atoms, means protons and electrons. If you look at a pure proton, it´s to expect that you find a very similar value. But you are definitely missing the electron mass (about half promille of proton mass). To get more informations visit

There you find the most precise values of fundamental constants including error bars. Your NA value is totally out of order.
The Faraday constant represents the amount of electric charge carried by one mole, or Avogadro's number, of electrons. It is an important constant in chemistry, physics, and electronics and is commonly symbolized by the italic uppercase letter F. It is expressed in coulombs per mole (C/mol).
Faraday's constant can be derived by dividing the Avogadro constant, or the number of electrons per mole, by the number of electrons per coulomb. The former is equal to approximately 6.02 x 10 23, and the latter is approximately 6.24 x 10 18. Therefore:
F = (6.02 x 10 23 ) / (6.24 x 10 18 )
= 9.65 x 10 4 C/mol
This calculation is accurate to three significant figures.
Concise form 96 485.332 89(59) C mol-1
