Put them is ascending order.
Count them = n.
If n is odd, calculate (n+1)/2
the median is the value of the [(n+1)/2]th number in the ordered list.
If n is even, the median is the average of the [n/2]th and [n/2 + 1]th numbers.

to find the median in a set of numbers you have to order them from the smallest to the largest and find the middle value e.g. 2,4,3,7,1 1,2,3,4,7 the median is 3
You add the two numbers in the middle of your range and then you divide them by two, or just find the number that is halfway between the two numbers, and you then have your median.
If there are 2 numbers as the median, you find the mean of those 2 numbers. (add both numbers and divide by 2)
To find the median of a set of values with an even number of values, place the values in ascending or descending order, find the 2 middle numbers and add them together and divide that total by 2 and that's the median.
Place the numbers in order from least to greatest and cross each one off from each side. The number that is left is the median. If two numbers are left find the middle of those numbers 1,2,3,4,5 3 is the median 1,2,3,4,5,6 3.5 is the median
