Multiplication - The star ,*, sign is used for multiplication. To enter the * sign, press the Shift keyand the number 8key.1. Click on A8. To clear cell A8, press the Delete key. (The “Delete Contents” windowappears.) Check the Delete all box and click OK.2. Type =A6*A7 (Or click the “Function”, , icon. The “=” appears in “A8”. The “Function”,, icon changes to the “Accept”, , icon. Then type "A6*A7").3. Press Enter (Or click the “Accept”, , icon.) The answer, 50, appears in A8.Division-The slash, /, sign is used for division. To enter the slash, /, sign, press the key [?And /].1. Click on A8. To clear cell A8, press the Delete key. (The “Delete Contents” windowappears.) Check the Delete all box and click OK.2. Type =A6/A7 (Or click the “Function”, , icon. The “=” appears in “A8'. The “Function”,, icon changes to the “Accept”, , icon. Then type "A6/A7".).3. Press Enter (Or click the “Accept”, , icon.) The answer, 2, appears in A8.ExponentiationThe number 10 2 is written as 10^2. To enter the ^ sign, press the Shift key and the number 6,, key.1. Click on A9.2. Type =A6^A7 (Or click the “Function”, , icon. The “=” appears in "A9". The “Function”,, icon changes to the “Accept”, , icon. Then type "A6^A7".).3. Press Enter (Or click the “Accept”, , icon.) The answer, 100000, appears in A8.Enter FormulasWhen you type in formulas, the order of operations must be correct. The correct order is:exponentiation, multiplication, division, addition, then subtraction. Let's pretend we want toperform a calculation using the equation:x + 10y + 20and suppose we entered it into Calc as follows:1. Select the A column. (Click on the letter "A." The whole "A "column is selected)2. Press Delete. (Make sure the "Delete all" box is checked.)3. Press OK.4. Click on A1.5. Type 20 in A1 and press Tab.6. Type 10 in B1 and press Tab. (Cell C1 becomes active)6
7. Type the formula =A1+10/B1 + 20.(Or click the “Function”, , icon which changes to the“Accept”,, icon. Type "A1+10/B1+20").8. Press Enter (Or click the “Accept”, , icon. The answer, 41, appears in C1.)The answer should be 1, using x = 20 and y = 10, but we got 41 for an answer! Why? BecauseCalc interpreted the equation as:20 + (10/10) + 20which equals 41. If you use formulas with equations in the numerator and denominator, you needto use parenthesis () to force the spreadsheet to calculate them properly. Make the followingchanges:1. Click on C1.2. Click on the Input Line.3. Edit the formula to read =(A1+10)/(B1+20). (Click just before the A, then Press the ( key[Shift-9]. Click after the 0 in 10, then press the ) key [Shift-0]. Click just before the B, thenPress the ( key [Shift-9]. Click after the 0 in 20, then press the ) key [Shift-0]).4. Click the Accept, , icon (green check mark.) The correct answer, 1, appears in C1.Copy FormulasYou can copy a formula so that the formula itself is copied or that the answer to the formula iscopied.Copy The Formula Itself1.
