So, the middle number here is 6. The median is the #6. In some situations there maybe more than 1 number. If there are two middle numbers, you add both of them and divide by 2 to get your median. ex. 4,1,7,6,2,8 Step 1: Rearrange the numbers from least to greatest. 1,2,4,6,7,8 Step 2: Cross off the numbers starting from the left to right, left, to right. In my case, I will make the numbers darker and underline them. 1,2, 4,6, 7,8 Because there are two numbers left 4,6,you add the two ...
