Parenthetical citation and a Works Cited entry should be used.

No citation is required because it is not a direct quotation.

You should cite EVERYTHING that is not common knowledge (and you didn't think up yourself). This is one of those everythings. If you want to include the information, use a Parenthetical Citation and a Works Cited entry. A really good source for formatting those is citationmachine.net.
