How does the gravitational force change with latitude?

since the force on a body on the surface of the earth is f=(m2*g)/d^2 and the force varies with the distance from the center of the earth ,our weight at different latitudes should vary with the least at the equator and the maximum at the poles since the earth is slightly flattened at ther poles,what is this variation?
