Frequently asked questions

For two numbers it is the square root of their product. The geometric mean of 4 and 9 is 6.

It suits averaging growth rates, ratios and percentages, where values multiply rather than add.

The arithmetic mean adds and divides; the geometric mean multiplies and takes a root, and is never larger than the arithmetic mean.

The standard geometric mean needs non-negative numbers, since the product must not be negative under the square root.

The Geometric Mean Calculator uses the formula: Geometric mean = √(First number × Second number). For example, with first number of 4 and second number of 9, the geometric mean is 6.0000.
