Sometimes, simple examples help the most.

Take the 5 numbers, 1,2,3,4,5. The number in the middle is 3 so it is the median.

Now take 4 numbers, 1,2,3,4. There is no single middle integer. So we take the middle two, add them, and divide by 2. (2+3)/2=5/2 which is the median.

Note that when we have an even number of entries, we must also use this method, but we can just pick the middle number when there is an odd number of entries.
