In some papers, 6.41KNO₃ + 1.027C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → 7.97H₂O + 3.88CO₂ + 3.205N₂ + 6.06K₂CO₃

What I calculated is

48 KNO₃ + 5 C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ = 36 CO₂ + 55 H₂O + 24 K₂CO₃ + 24 N₂

How does the above equation come out?

Yours is correct. Above they used broken numbers and also not very accurate i would say wrong calculation. Example 7.97 H₂O never can come from 1.027 C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁.

Thanks!!
