What’s In

Introduction
When working with any numerical information, Google Sheets is one of the best
applications that can be used to perform calculations. In this lesson, you will learn
how to create simple formulas that will add, subtract, multiply, and divide values.
You will also be introduced to the basics of using cell references in formulas.

 What’s New

Use a separate sheet in answering this activity. Be sure to write the following:
Name: __________________________________Grade and Section: ___________________
Subject: ________________________________Lesson Title: _________________________

Directions: Write the correct formula to use.

What is It

1. What is a “Formula”?
2. How to create simple formulas
3. What are Mathematical operators?

Formula
It is simply a statement made up of ‘operands’ and ‘operators’.
One fundamental thing to note about formulas is that they must always begin with
an equal sign (=).

Creating simple formulas

A convenient and time-saving feature of Google Sheets is its ability to add,

subtract, multiply, and divide numerical information. Google Sheets uses
mathematical expressions called formulas that make handling these calculations
easy. In this lesson, we'll focus on formulas that contain one mathematical
operator.

Most of the time, you will be using a cell's address in the formula. This is called
using a cell reference. The advantage of using cell references is that you can change
a value in a referenced cell and the formula will automatically recalculate. Using
cell references in your formulas will make sure the values in your formulas are
accurate.

Mathematical operators

Google Sheets uses standard operators for

formulas: a plus sign for addition (+), minus
sign for subtraction (-), asterisk for
multiplication (*), forward slash for division
(/).

All formulas must begin with an equal sign

(=). This is because the cell contains—or is
equal to—the formula and the value it
calculates.

Figure no. 1

Using cell references

When a formula contains a cell address, meaning it uses a cell reference. It is

very useful to create a formula with cell references because you can update the
numerical values in cells without having to rewrite the formula. See figure no. 1.

ADD operation can be performed manually by passing the two cells separated
with a + (plus) sign operator.

Adding numbers in Google Sheets using basic formula

Refer to figure no. 2
1. Click or tap the cell A3 where you want to place the formula.
2. Type = (equal) sign to start the formula.
3. Click or tap the cell A1 where you want to place the first addend.
4. Type + (plus) sign.
5. Click or tap the cell A2 where you want to place the second addend.
6. Hit enter to process the data and get the sum.

 Figure No. 2. Addition

Subtract operation does not have a dedicated function to it, but it can be
performed by placing a - (minus) sign between the cells you would like to
subtract.

Subtracting numbers in Google Sheets using basic formula

Refer to figure no. 3
1. Click or tap the cell A3 where you want to place the formula.
2. Type = (equal) sign to start the formula.
3. Click or tap the cell A1 where you want to place the minuend.
4. Type - (minus) sign.
5. Click or tap the cell A2 where you want to place the subtrahend.
6. Hit enter to process the data and get the difference.

Now you will learn to multiply in spreadsheets!

Multiplying is as simple as addition and subtraction. It can be done by using a

* (asterisk) sign.

Multiplying numbers in Google Sheets using basic formula

Refer to figure no. 4
1. Click or tap the cell A3 where you want to place the formula.
2. Type (equal) sign to start the formula.
3. Click or tap the cell A1 where you want to place the multiplier.
4. Type * (asterisk) sign.
5. Click or tap the cell A2 where you want to place the multiplicand.
6. Hit enter to process the data and get the product.

Figure No. 4. Multiplication

Next, you will learn how to divide in google spreadsheets.

Division can be easily performed using a / (forward) slash in which the left of
the forward slash is the dividend and to the right of the forward slash is the
divisor.

Dividing numbers in Google Sheets using basic formula

Refer to figure no. 5
1. Click or tap the cell A3 where you want to place the formula.
2. Type = (equal) sign to start the formula.
3. Click or tap the cell A1 where you want to place the dividend.
4. Type / ((forward slash) sign.
5. Click or tap the cell A2 where you want to place the divisor.
6. Hit enter to process the data and get the quotient.

 Figure No. 5. Division

By combining a mathematical
operator with cell references,
you can create a variety of simple
formulas in Google Sheets.
Formulas can also include a
combination of a cell reference
and a number. See Figure No. 6.
