if im not mistaking ... you have to first put the numbers in order. then whatever the number in the middle is that's your median.
ex:
1 3 5 7 8 ; 5 is the median.
if there isn't a middle number, you have to take the two middle numbers and then go half way between ex:
1 2 3 4 5 6
between 3 + 4 is 3.5
does that help ??

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).
when you have an even amount of numbers while trying to find the median, you first find the two numbers that are at the median and then take all the numbers between them and find the median of that. if that amount of digits is also even, then you must have a decimal median.
if you are trying to find the median and there is two middle numbers, you add the two Numbers together and divide is by two.
The median is the number that is in the middle of a list of numbers once this sequence has been reordered. If the numbers are 45,56,23,34,67 then the median is 45 (not 23).
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.
