Variables Used

Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion is a constant whose value depends upon the cohesion of soil.
Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Bearing Capacity in Soil is defined as the minimum gross pressure intensity at the base of the foundation at which the soil fails in shear.
Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal - (Measured in Pascal) - Effective Surcharge in KiloPascal also called as surcharge load refers to the vertical pressure or any load that acts over the ground surface additional to basic earth pressure.
Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge - Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Surcharge is a constant whose value depends upon surcharge.
Cohesion of Soil - (Measured in Pascal) - Cohesion of Soil is the ability of like particles within soil to hold onto each other. It is the shear strength or force that binds together like particles in the structure of a soil.

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
Cohesion of Soil: 5 Kilopascal --> 5000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N_c = (q_fc-((σ_s)*N_q))/C_s --> (127800-((45900)*2.01))/5000

Evaluating ... ...

N_c = 7.1082

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.1082 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.1082 <-- Bearing Capacity Factor dependent on Cohesion
