Table for empirical formula

Unknown environment 'tabular' & Unknown environment 'tabular' & Ratio \ \hline C & 40.00 & 12 & 4012=3.33 & 3.333.33=1 \ \hline H & 13.33 & 1 & 13.331=13.33 & 13.333.33=4 \ \hline N & 46.67 & 14 & 46.6714=3.33 & 3.333.33=1 \ \hline \end{tabular}

Hence, empirical formula =CH4N
