It's a polymer, so it doesn't really have a "formula" in the strict sense; it's a mixture of chains of varying length but all with the same repeat unit.
The monomer unit is methyl methacrylate, molecular formula C5H8O2. The SMILES string is C=C(C)C(=O)OC (which probably won't be of much use unless you're a computational chemist, but if you copy that and paste it into a program like MarvinSketch it will show you the structural formula). In the polymer, the carbon-carbon double bond opens up and half of it joins with the monomer unit on each side.
The overall formula for the polymer winds up being (C5H8O2)n
