Find the middle value of a numeric dataset after ordering it.

How to use this calculator

Replace the bracketed data. The middle of 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10 is 8.

Tap the math below to edit it and see the result. Once a result is ready, press Tab on a hardware keyboard to accept it. Outside a matrix, Return completes the line; the phone math keyboard has the same Return action.

Interactive tools require JavaScript. You can read the guide and example without it.

What to know

For an even number of observations the median averages the two central values; it is not the mode.

Mathlean combines visual mathematical input with computation and canvas tools. Results depend on the expression and available engine support; check important answers independently.
