+When calculating empirical formulae, uncertainties, unless they are large, can be reasonably discarded because they will not affect the final result significantly.

     The empirical formula of a compound consisting of 43.64% $\text{P}$ and 56.36% $\text{O}$ by mass:  
     $m_\text{P} = 43.64\text{ g}$
