What is the Harmonic Mean Calculator?

The Harmonic Mean Calculator finds the average of a set of positive numbers based on the reciprocal of each value. It is especially useful when dealing with rates, ratios, or speeds, where the arithmetic mean might overestimate the central tendency. The harmonic mean is calculated as the total number of values divided by the sum of their reciprocals. This calculator also provides a step-by-step table showing each value, its reciprocal, and the sum of reciprocals, making the calculation process transparent and easy to follow.

How to Use:

1. Enter Values: Provide all positive numbers separated by commas (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8).
2. Click “Calculate”: The calculator computes the harmonic mean using the sum of reciprocals.
3. View Table: A detailed table shows each value, its reciprocal, and the total sum, clearly demonstrating the calculation steps.
