For a unit cell, the corners count as 1/8 of a sphere and atoms completely within the unit cell count as 1. This gives us 1 yellow and 1 green sphere in the unit cell shown above.

The figure above has 8 Zn atoms on the corners (counting as 1/8) and 6 Zn atoms on the faces (counting as ½). This gives 4 Zn atoms in the unit cell. The Sulfur atoms are completely within the unit cell and count as 1 each for a total of 4 S atoms. This gives the formula Zn4S4 which reduces down to ZnS.
