Remember PEMDAS. It stands for Parenthesis,Exponents,Multiply, Divide, Addition, and finally Subtraction. If they are already in order then just start at the left and go to the right.

How do you add and divide numbers in the same cell in Excel?

Formulas can include a mix of calculations, so you can put several in, and have very long calculations. The only thing you need to know is how calculations are done when you have a mixture of operations in a cell. In this case, all divisions will be done before any additions, no matter where they appear in the calculation. That is a law of mathematics, an spreadsheets will follow that. For example, if you take this formula: =5+6/2 In this case, the 6 will be divided by the 2, before the 5 is added to it. If you want the 5 added to the 6 first, then you have to put brackets around that part of it like this: =(5+6)/2 The laws of mathematics dictate that anything inside brackets is done first, which is why that happens.
