What is the mode?
The mode is the value that appears most frequently in a dataset. It's one of three common measures of central tendency, along with mean (arithmetic average) and median (middle value).
A set can be:
- Unimodal - one mode
- Bimodal - two modes (common in salary distributions)
- Multimodal - three or more modes
- No mode - all values appear equally often
Finding the mode
Count how many times each value appears. The value(s) with the highest count is the mode.
Example: In {1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5} the mode is 4 (appears 3 times)
Using the calculator
Enter numbers separated by commas, spaces, or new lines. Results update instantly - the tool also shows mean, median, range, and the sorted list.
