Figure out what the mass of each element is by multiplying it's percentage by the total mass. Then, divide each of those masses by the molar mass of that element. This will give you the number of moles of that element. Then, you should be able to see that the molar amounts of the elements are all integer multiples of some number. Divide each of them by that number.
