Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/style-guide/documentation-content-strategy/component-attributes/mathematical-operations/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

## Definition

Expressions that show how to make a particular calculation.

## Used in

[How to](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/style-guide/documentation-content-strategy/content-types/how-to/), [Reference](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/style-guide/documentation-content-strategy/content-types/reference/), [Tutorial](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/style-guide/documentation-content-strategy/content-types/tutorial/)

## Structure

If an operation occurs inside of a code block, use the formatting associated with that programming language. If an operation occurs in text, either leave the equation in plain text with spaces between operators for readability or use math typesetting.

## Example

| Correct                     | Incorrect         |
| --------------------------- | ----------------- |
| 25 / 30                     | 25/30             |
| 𝑒(𝑎𝑃,𝑏𝑄)=𝑒(𝑃,𝑄)𝑎𝑏 | e(aP,bQ)=e(P,Q)ab |
