100%

I don't understand this concenpt. 

I know Q= 77.44 and K=9.60, 

Q > K which means reactants are already favored, so why is the answer 
"more nitrogen and hydrogen must form to achieve equilibrium" if the reactants are already favored? 

are we trying to make the value of Q closer to 9.60 or are we trying to make the value of K closer to 77.44?
