For fcc, number of X atoms = 4/unit cell 
Number of TVs = 8Z
Number of OVs = 4Y
Number of atoms removed along one body diagonal =2X (corner) and 2Z(TVs) and IY (OV at body centre)

      Number of X atoms left =4(2×18)=154

Number of Y atoms left  =4(1×1)=3
Number of Z atoms left  =8(2×1)=6
The simplest formula  =X154Y3Z6X15Y12Z24
