In general, if you want a number you must wrap the whole expression with N
(otherwise Mathematica will search for a symbolic value, and it may not find
it). Alternatively, you may put a decimal point after any of the integers in
your formula. In the particular case you are trying to evaluate an overflow
occurs. Just consider that Sinh[97.] = 6.691673596021348*^41. BTW, please
use the correct syntax, particularly in the use of parentheses.
