All form responses are stored in the Google Form, but can be stored in a Google Sheet if you prefer, for further analysis. Once in a Google Sheet, you can use any spreadsheet features to summarise your results e.g. charts, formulas, etc.
To view a summary of the form responses, click on the Responses tab along the top of the form.

Choose whether to store the results in a new spreadsheet, which you can name in this dialog box, or a new sheet in an existing spreadsheet
Click on Create
You can now open the spreadsheet from your Google Drive and view the results. Each response will show in a new row, with the first column showing the date and time at which the form was submitted.
Within the spreadsheet, you can quickly view the form or show a summary of responses.
Click on the Form menu to view the following options:
Choose Edit form to view the form to add or edit questions
Choose Send form to send the form via email
Choose Go to live form to show the published form as your recipients would see it

Choose Show summary of responses to view a summary of results - this is covered in more detail below
Choose Unlink form to stop copying form responses into the spreadsheet - you will need to confirm this by clicking on OK
After you have unlinked a spreadsheet from a form, the responses will still be stored in the form itself, and can be copied to another spreadsheet, or a sheet in the same spreadsheet, if required.
