To write a formula that adds two numbers together (for example, 181 + 376)
1. Click on the cell where you want the answer to the equation to appear.
2. Begin by typing the = sign.
3. Type the numbers you want to add separated by the + sign (without spaces): 181+376.
4. Your entire equation should look like this: =181+376
5. Press the Enter key.
6. You will now see the sum 557 appear in the cell.
You can repeat these steps for subtraction, multiplication, or division too. Instead of the plus
sign (+), use (-) for subtraction, (*) for multiplication, and ( / ) for division.
