Mode Calculator
Enter numeric data to identify the most frequent value(s) and frequency distribution.

How to Use This Calculator
- Enter numeric values separated by spaces or commas.
- Review the computed mode(s) and their frequency.
- Use the frequency table to identify distribution peaks or ties.
- Combine mode with mean/median for a complete summary.
Formula
Mode = value(s) with the highest frequency. This calculator counts each unique value and reports the maximum frequency.
Full Description
The mode indicates the most common value in discrete or continuous datasets (after binning). It is especially informative for categorical or skewed distributions where mean and median may be less descriptive.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can datasets have multiple modes?
Yes. When multiple values share the highest frequency, the data are multimodal, and all such values are reported.
What if all values are unique?
The dataset is called “uniform” for mode purposes, and the calculator reports “No mode.”
Does order affect the mode?
No. Mode depends solely on frequency counts, irrespective of order.
Can I apply mode to continuous data?
Yes, but continuous data often require binning; this calculator treats exact numeric matches as categories.
