The Equation for calculating Resistance is given as follows:
R= V/I
Where:
V= Voltage (volts)
I= Current (Amps)
To Calculate Total Resistance in series, the formula is:
Rt= R1+R2+R3...........
and so on to how many resistors are in series.
To Calculate Total Resistance in parallel, the formula is:
1/Rt= (1/r1)+(1/r2)+(1/r3)...........
When you calculate this answer, the formula still says that's to get 1/Rt so the answer you got must be divided INTO the number 1. That is the total resistance
Hope this helps !!!

This is a rather obscure question Katy!
I feel that you ought to be more specific.
