In above compounds there is one peroxy linkage hence two of the eight Oxygen atoms have -1  oxidation state.  So, for H2S2O8and

K2S2O8 ,the oxidation number of Sulphur is,

2×(+1)+2x+6(2)+2(1)=0+2+2x122=02x12=02x=+12x=+122=+6

 For  S2O82  compound 

2x+6(2)+2(1)=22x14=22x=+12x=+122=+6

H2SO52×(+1)+x+3×(2)+2(1)=0(for H)(for S)(for O)(for OO)2+x62=0x=+6
