The following excerpt is from People v. Gorostiza, F075943 (Cal. App. 2020):
Under California's determinate sentencing law, when a trial court imposes consecutive terms for multiple felony offenses, the defendant in most cases receives an aggregate term consisting of the principal term (the felony with the greatest term of imprisonment, including enhancements), coupled with the remaining felonies, which are deemed the subordinate terms. (People v. Sasser (2015) 61 Cal.4th 1, 9.) The subordinate terms consist of one-third of the middle term of imprisonment for those offenses, plus one-third of the term imposed for any specific enhancements. (Ibid.)
