STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil: 127.8 Kilopascal --> 127800 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal: 45.9 Kilonewton per Square Meter --> 45900 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge: 2.01 --> No Conversion Required
Unit Weight of Soil: 18 Kilonewton per Cubic Meter --> 18000 Newton per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Footing: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_γ = (q_fc-(σ_s*N_q))/(0.4*γ*B) --> (127800-(45900*2.01))/(0.4*18000*2)

Evaluating ... ...

N_γ = 2.468125

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.468125 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.468125 <-- Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Unit Weight
