Balancing Chemical Equations

I am using a matrix method for balancing a chemical equations. As a result, I get a vector x, which contains a set of non-integer numbers. Next, I need this vector is multiplied by a number Y, to obtain a set of integers. Total sum of these integers should be as small as possible.
How do I calculate the number Y?
See the picture and Mathcad worksheet in attach.
