According to Newtons 2nd Law of Motion, (F=MA)
The force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet or moon. Since the mass of our Moon is one sixth that of Earth then its gravitational attraction is also 1/6th that of Earth.
Earth's is 9.8 N so the Moons is 1.63333 Newtons

Centret used the wrong units of measure, easy mistake. A Newton is the force of 1Kg at 1meter/sec./sec.
Eaths gravity is an acceleration of 9.8 M/s/s. 9.8 Newtons is the weight ( force) of 1 Kg on Earth.
