Calculating the mass of a photon?

3.01 x 10-18 J

Determine the mass of the photon. This photon is traveling at the speed of light.

f=4.54^15 Hz

λ = 6.60^-8

h = 6.626 x 10-34 Js

c = 3.00 x 108 m/s

I solved everything else about the photon but I don't know how to calculate the mass. Someone help and show work please?

Update:

The answer is 1.00 x 10-26 kg but I don't know how to get it.
