They are sometimes represented by the formula Cx(H2O)y where x is usually a large number between 200 and 2500. Also, considering that the repeating units in the polymer backbone are often six-carbon monosaccharides, the general formula can also be represented as (C6H10O5)n where 40≤n≤3000. This is the more common one.
