Fat Amount Wrong

I calculated myself my protein, carbs and fat by taking total calories times percent and then dividing by 4. The protein and carb amounts are right but the fat amount isn't.
My total calories is 1527 and my fat is 20%. When I calculated it I got 76.35, but MyFitnessPal got 34. Am I calculating wrong is the app doing it wrong?
