What is the best way to solve this question?

So a toxic gas A contains 53.8% nitrogen and 46.2 % carbon. At 273 K and 1.01 x 10^5 Pa, 1.048 g of A occupies 462 cm^3. Determine the empirical formula of A, calculate the molar mass and determine the molecular structure.

I have trouble determining the molar mass. When I do it, I end up getting around 5.094 g/mol but accordingly the answer is supposed to be 51.9 g/mol. How do you get the latter answer?
