Mean Calculator

Calculate different types of means: Arithmetic, Geometric, and Harmonic

Enter numbers separated by commas or spaces (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

Formulas:

  • Arithmetic Mean: (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ) / n
  • Geometric Mean: ⁿ√(x₁ × x₂ × ... × xₙ)
  • Harmonic Mean: n / (1/x₁ + 1/x₂ + ... + 1/xₙ)

About Mean Calculator

Our Mean Calculator helps you calculate different types of means from a set of numbers. Each type of mean has specific applications and provides different insights into your data.

Types of Mean:

Arithmetic Mean

The most common type of average, calculated by summing all values and dividing by the count.

Formula: (x₁ + x₂ + ... + xₙ) / n

Geometric Mean

Used for data that represents rates of change or multiplicative relationships.

Formula: ⁿ√(x₁ × x₂ × ... × xₙ)

Harmonic Mean

Used for rates, speeds, and other situations involving reciprocals.

Formula: n / (1/x₁ + 1/x₂ + ... + 1/xₙ)

Applications:

  • Arithmetic Mean: General data analysis, test scores, temperatures
  • Geometric Mean: Investment returns, growth rates, ratios
  • Harmonic Mean: Average speeds, rates of work, parallel resistances
