The median of a group of numbers is the middle of the group. For example: 1,7,11,6,10. First, you need to put the numbers in order from least to greatest: 1,6,7,10,11. Then you count up the amount of numbers (5). Since 5 is an odd number if you take away 1 then there is 4 (an even number). The median is 7, because it is in the middle of all 5 numbers.

Does the median of a list of whole numbers must be a whole number?
No. It is the middle number. If there are two numbers in the middle, it is the number in the middle between the two. For example, if the list is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, the median is 4, or four. However, if the list is: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the median is 4.5, or four and one half.
What does these values mean median and mean mean?
The median is the middle number of a set when they are in order, least to greatest. If there is an even number of values, the median is the average of the middle two. Ex. 10, 17, 20, 45, 68 The median is 20. The mean is the average, which is the total of the numbers divided by how many numbers there are. Ex. 10, 17, 20, 45, 68 68 + 45 + 20 + 17 + 10 = 160 There are 5 numbers in this set. 160/5 = 32 The mean is 32.
What is the median of the factors of 16?
Well, honey, the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8, and 16. Now, if you line them up in numerical order, the middle number is 4. So, the median of the factors of 16 is 4. Hope that clears things up for ya, sugar!
What is the median of factors?
When you order the factors from least to greatest, the middle number is the median... ie: 9, 3, 10, 7, 2, 1... n order: 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, 10... the median: 5, since 3 and 7 are both the middle, 5 is in the middle of 3 and 7...
How do you find the median with an even set of numbers?
put then in order from smallest to largest (or large to small) and find the number directly in the middle
