Carl makes the table below to determine the number of atoms of each element in the chemical formula 4Ca(ClO3)2.

A table with 3 columns and 2 rows. The first column labeled element has entries calcium, chlorine, oxygen. The second column labeled calculation has entries 1 times 4 , 1 times 2, 3 times 2. The third column labeled total atoms has entries 4, 2, 6.
What mistake did Carl make?
