At the surface of the Moon, the average gravity is 1.622 m/s^2, which is about 16.5% of Earth gravity.
But the "exact" gravitational pull? That varies by exactly where you are on the moon. Some places are 1.619 m/s^2, other places are 1.625 m/s^2.
And the pull of the Moon on a spot on the Earth, depends on how far that spot is from the moon.

It is 1/86 the gravitational pull of earth, if I'm not mistaken.
Hope this helps.

I think its 1.6 times 10 to the -16 times the mass of the moon.

There is no magical pull inside the mass of the moon.
