Arsenic has an oxidation number of -3. Since it is in group 15, it has five valence electrons. It wants to have eight, so it will gain three electron. Electrons are negative, that's why the oxidation number is negative.

-3, +4 and +5 are also known

∙ 13y ago+3 Because the oxygen have the oxidation number of -2
Let the oxidation number of arsenic be x
As4O6=0 (it is neutral)
4x + 6(-2)=0
4x =12
x= +3
