Mean of a variable from a factorising joint density

Let XX and YY be continuous random variables with the joint probability density function

f(x,y)={c x2y3,0<x<1,y>1, 0,otherwise,f(x,y)=\begin{cases}c\,\dfrac{x^2}{y^3}, & 0<x<1, y>1,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}

where cc is a suitable constant. Then E(X)=E(X)= ________________________
