Question
What is the difference between mean and median?
Mean is the arithmetic average, while median is the middle value after sorting the numbers.
Math
Use OmniCalc's mean, median, mode, range calculator to summarize a list of numbers and understand the center and spread of your data quickly.

This mean, median, mode, range calculator helps students and everyday users summarize a data set in one place. Paste your values to see the average, middle value, most frequent value, and spread instantly.
Formula and method
The calculator sorts the data, computes the arithmetic mean, identifies the median from the middle of the sorted list, finds the most frequent value or values for the mode, and subtracts the minimum from the maximum for the range.
Example
For 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 9, the mean is 5.25, the median is 5.5, the mode is 6, and the range is 7.
FAQ
Short answers to the questions people often ask before or after using the tool.
Question
Mean is the arithmetic average, while median is the middle value after sorting the numbers.
Question
Yes. If multiple values tie for the highest frequency, the calculator returns all of them as modes.
Question
Then the data set has no mode, and the calculator reports that clearly.
