The molecular formula of hexane is C6H14. The empirical formula is the same as the molecular formula after division of all subscripts in the molecular formula by the highest integer that produce an integer quotient from each subscript in the molecular formula. Therefore, the empirical formula of hexane is C3H7.

What would be the empirical formula of hexane C5H14?
The formula given is already the empirical formula, because its two subscripts, 5 and 14, do not have any common whole number factors except 1. - - - - - {Another contributor wrote: "That's true, but hexane is C6H14 - and there are still no common whole number factors." This comment is wrong, because 2 is a common factor of 6 and 14.} ------- The _chemical formula_ for hexane is C6H14. (This formula indicates the number of atoms of each element in one molecule of any of the _isomers_ of hexane.) The ratio of carbon atoms to hydrogen atoms in one molecule of hexane is 1:2. Therefore, the _empirical formula_ for hexane is CH2. Please see the links.

An empirical formula refers to the chemical formula that indicates the simplest ratio of atoms in a compound. Two different compounds may have the same empirical formula.
What is the empirical formula for C9H20?
The empirical formula for C9H20 is C3H7. This is because we divide the subscripts by their greatest common factor, which in this case is 3.

How does one determine a molecule formula from the empirical formula?
The density or some other information must be given that allow you to find the molar mass. Calculate the empirical formula mass. Divide molar mass by empirical formula mass. This answer is multiplied by all subscripts of the empirical formula to get the molecular formula.
