How to use harmonic mean calculator
- Enter or edit the example values in the input panel.
- Review the method below and choose the options that match your task.
- Run the tool, check the result, and copy or download it. Reset restores the example; Clear removes your input and result.
Method & assumptions
H = n / Σ(1/xᵢ), where every xᵢ > 0.
Use the harmonic mean for positive rates with equal numerator quantities, such as speeds over equal distances. It is not the arithmetic mean of arbitrary speeds.
Result units: Harmonic mean (same unit as the data)
Worked example
- Positive values (comma or space separated)
- 1, 4, 16
