Hi Danju,
it is a division, R^2 = 1 - SSE (divided by) SSD,
where: SSE = sum of the squared errors (residuals) and
SSD = sum of the squared deviations about the mean (related to the variance of data)
> Why "1 minus"?
If the errors are zero, SSE is zero, and R^2 becomes 1, this is what one calls perfect correlation.
