The Empirical Formula is a formula written in the smallest whole number subscripts. 
To calculate:
1. Calculate the number of moles for each atom
2. Divide by the smallest value of moles on each number of moles obtained. 
3. The values obtained must be whole numbers, if not, multiply each values by the same whole number you choose, such that they all end up being whole numbers. 
4. The whole numbers obtained can then be used as subscripts of the atoms. e.i. they must be in simplest form
