Answer:

CH2O and C6H12O6

Step-by-step explanation:

To find an empirical formula, take a molecular formula and divide the subscript of each element by the greatest common factor of all the subscripts. In this case, the only pair that works is CH2O,C6H12O6, which can be verified by dividing the coefficients of the molecular formula by 6.
