How much protein in grams do I need at 62 kg on 1,400 kcal a day?

Stated plainly: 62 kg · 1,400 kcal.

The units are where I keep going wrong, so please be explicit about them.

I have sanity-checked the order of magnitude and it seems right, which is not the same as being right.

How many significant figures are actually justified here?
