Ex. 1m and 15k or 5m and 5m
pretty much do electronics add or multiply?

10 mega-ohm

Do you mean 10 MegOhm or 10 milli ohm?

If you need a 10 MOhms resistor it's better than you put some resistors in series than in parallel. For ex. two (2) 5.1 Mohms in series, for 10.2 total, or three (3) 3.3 Mohms in series, for 9.9 total, or five (5) 2.0 Mohms in series for 10.0 Mohms, etc.
Refer to the "E24" series and add the right values until you get the right answer.

to get equivelent values, SERIES resistors ADD, Parallel you do as a complex fraction example, 1 divided by 5(meg) + 1 divided by 5(meg) = 1 divided by (answer) = 2.5 or as decimals ( (1/5) .2 + (1/5) .2 = .4 then 1 / .4 = 2.5
To get 10 meg from the values given, series two 5 megs.

Guessing you mean 10 megs, you could hook two 5 meg's together in series. You could also hook two 20 megs in shunt. The complex formula for parallel resisters goes to zero if you use resisters of equal value. IE: two in series add together and two in shunt "half" the end value.

Put two 5m ohm resisters in series. Resistance adds in series.
In parallel, the formula is 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2 + ...+ 1/Rn)
