With nγ​=0.24Q3, uγ​=0.66ℏcQ4, Q=kB​T/(ℏc) and nB​=ΩB​ρc​/mp​, eliminate Q using uγ​=Ωγ​ρc​c2. The prefactor is 0.24/0.663/4=0.328. Here ρc​ is the mass-equivalent cosmological critical density; inserting an energy-density critical value without its c2 conversion would give incorrect dimensions. A numerical estimate needs photon and baryon density parameters as additional inputs.
