Put the numbers in order. The odd one in the middle is the median: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (4 is the median). If even numbers, it is between the two middle numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 (between 4 and 5 is the median).

The median can be found by putting all of the numbers you have into ascending order, and then the number in the dead middle is the median.
Median is the middle number, when the whole set of numbers is arranged from least to greatest. If there are two middle numbers, the median is the average of both of the middle numbers (when the set of numbers is arranged from least to greatest)
the median is the middle value of a set of numbers. Thus if you wanted to find the median of a group of numbers, you can organize them in numerical order, and find which is the middle term (if it is an even set of numbers, in which you have two middle numbers, add the two together and than divide it by 2).
The median of a data set is the number that is literally in the middle. For example: The median of the number set 1,1,3,4,7, is 3 because it is in the physical middle of the set of numbers. Note: To find a median, the numbers MUST be in written in order the median of 2,6,3, is not 6. You must rearrange them like: 2,3,6 and we can see 3 is the median
The median of a set of numbers is the middle number when the numbers are listed in numerical order. When there are an even number of data items in the set, then the median is the mean average of the middle two numbers. In the set {16, 25} there are two data items, so the median is the mean average of the middle two (which for a set of 2 is both the numbers) → median = (16 + 25) ÷ 2 = 20.5
