Is there a way to open this file I have in my files with a Chromebook? And if so, how do I read the numbers inside this file to use for later equations.

What language are we talking about? You want to programmatically open a file and read content from it right?

I've made a small example for you in C++. Please, check out the sample project. You can fork from it and edit it to your liking.

Since you have a Chromebook, wouldn't you just go into the Files app, find the file Random.txt and double click it?

If you did this, the Chrome browser should open a new tab with the entirety of the file's content on the screen.

To upload a file into the OnlineGDB editor, look to the left of the green "run" button used to run your program. Select the image of the arrow pointing to the cloud-- this is the "Upload file" button. You can also hover over it for a tooltip to appear.

Reading the numbers from the file into a program varies between each language, so we need to know what language you are using: common languages are python, java, c, c++, etc...
