The contribution of an atom placed at the corner of the unit cell is 1/8
Therefore the total no. of anions (B) which are present in a unit cell is = (1/8) X total no. of corners = (1/8) X 8 = 1 anion
 
The contribution of an atom placed at face centre = 1/2
When cations are placed at the alternative faces the total no. of atoms are 2 
 
Therefore total no. of cations are = (1/2) X 2 = 1
 
Thus, the formula of the compound is AB.
