For dividing they spelled it out for example, two-sevenths was "duae septimae" and three-eighths was "tres octavae."

For multiplying they put horizontal a dash or line over the numeral and multiply by a thousand ......

I believed there was nor subtracting or adding just adding on or taking off numerals.
