**Equilibrium Constant Calculation at 539 K**

Consider the following equilibrium system at 539 K:

\[ \text{2CH}_2\text{Cl}_2(g) \rightleftharpoons \text{CH}_4(g) + \text{CCl}_4(g) \]

If an equilibrium mixture of the three gases at 539 K contains \(4.99 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M CH}_2\text{Cl}_2\), \(5.54 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M CH}_4\), and \(4.90 \times 10^{-2} \, \text{M CCl}_4\), what is the value of the equilibrium constant \(K\)?

\[ K = \]

(In this context, "M" denotes molarity, which is moles per liter.)
