STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Modulus of Rigidity of Valve Spring: 98900 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 98900000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Wire Diameter of Valve Spring: 5.5 Millimeter --> 0.0055 Meter (Check conversion here)
Mean Coil Diameter of Valve Spring: 46 Millimeter --> 0.046 Meter (Check conversion here)
Stiffness of Valve Spring: 9 Newton per Millimeter --> 9000 Newton per Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = (G*d_w^4)/(8*D^3*k) --> (98900000000*0.0055^4)/(8*0.046^3*9000)

Evaluating ... ...

N = 12.9134135095043

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

12.9134135095043 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

12.9134135095043 ≈ 12.91341 <-- Active Coils in Valve Spring
