Mean, Median & Mode Calculator

Find the mean, median, and mode of a set of numbers.

How it is calculated

All three measures of central tendency are calculated from the same list of numbers.

Formula

Mean: Sum ÷ Count

Median: Middle value when sorted

Mode: Most frequent value(s)

Frequently asked questions

Why might these three values all be different?

Each one measures 'typical' in a different way. The mean can be affected a lot by very high or low numbers. The median is not. The mode simply finds the number that appears most often. An uneven set of numbers can give quite different values for each.
