CoachGeometric means are normally not defined for sets including negative numbers because they can lead to imaginary solutions.
However, when all the numbers are negative, one could consider an analogous formula, which gives
GM(-6, -162) = - sqrt(6*162) = -sqrt(972) = -31.177 (to 3 dp)

Is -2-6-18-54-162-468-1458 geometric or arithmetic?
It is neither. (-6) - (-2) = -4 (-18) - (-6) = -12 which is not the same as -4. Therefore it is not an arithmetic progression - which requires the difference between successive terms to be the same. Also -162/-54 = 3 -468/-162 = 2.88... recurring, and that is not the same as 3. Therefore it is not a geometric progression - which requires the ratio of terms to be the same.
Is 6 divisible by 162?
6 is not divisible by 162. 162 is divisible by 6.
What is the geometric mean between 6 and 12?

Is 162 evenly divided into 3 6 and 9?
162 can indeed be divided into 3, 6, and 9. 162/3 = 54 162/6 = 27 162/9 = 18
How many times does 6 go into 162?
It goes: 162/6 = 27 times
