The empirical formula for a compound with the molecular formula C6H12N2O4 is?

If you can divide all of the subscripts by 1(ONLY) then what you have is the molecular formula and the empirical formula. If the subscripts can be divided by any other number, the new numbers will be the empirical formula. It appears to me that you can divide 6,12,2, and 4 by 2 evenly.
