The problem of developing an arithmetic for continued fractions (in order to perform, e.g., sums and products) does not have a straightforward solution and has been addressed by several authors. In 1972, Gosper provided an algorithm to solve this problem. In this paper, we extend this approach in order to develop an arithmetic for multidimensional continued fractions (MCFs). First, we define the M\"obius transform of an MCF and we provide an algorithm to obtain its expansion. Similarly, we deal with the bilinear transformation of MCFs, which covers as a special case the problem of summing or multiplying two MCFs. Finally, some experiments are performed in order to study the behavior of the algorithms.
