Yes, but only in exceptional circumstances.
An arithmetic mean is the sum of all the values in a set divided by the number of values in a set.
So the set could be, for example : (7, 13, 17, 20) and the arithmetic mean is thus 57/4 = 14.25.
If the answer is required as an integer then we would write 14.
The value 0.25 is effectively a remainder.
The same procudure could also apply to geometric and harmonic means.
