Spanish Calculations
Let’s see how to perform simple mathematical operations in Spanish.
Addition
To add in Spanish, we use “más” (plus).
4+4 = 8
cuatro más cuatro son ocho (four plus four is eight)
1+0 = 1
uno más cero es uno (one plus zero is one)
Subtraction
To make a subtraction, we use “menos” (minus).
10-6 = 4
diez menos seis son cuatro (ten minus six is four)
9-8 = 1
nueve menos ocho es uno (nine minus eight is one)
Multiplication
To multiply, we use “por” (multiplied by).
3×2 = 6
tres por dos son seis (three multiplied by two makes six)
9×5 = 45
nueve por cinco son cuaranta y cinco (nine multiplied by five makes forty-five)
Division
To divide, we use “entre” (divided by).
6/2 = 3
seis entre dos son tres (six divided by two makes three)
5/5 = 1
cinco entre cinco es uno (five divided by five is one)
