What is the Geometric Mean Calculator?

The Geometric Mean Calculator computes the central tendency of a set of positive numbers by multiplying all the values together and then taking the n-th root, where n is the total number of values. Unlike the arithmetic mean, the geometric mean is more appropriate for datasets that involve rates, ratios, or percentages, as it reduces the impact of very large or very small values. This calculator also provides a step-by-step log-based table showing the natural logarithm of each value and the mean of the logs, which is used to compute the geometric mean.

How to Use:

1. Enter Values: Provide all positive numbers separated by commas (e.g., 2, 4, 8, 16).
2. Click “Calculate”: The calculator multiplies all values and takes the n-th root to find the geometric mean.
3. View Table: A detailed table shows the log of each value and the average log, making the calculation transparent.
