Geometric mean of n numbers is defined as the nth root of the product of n numbers.

Formula

${GM = sqrt[n]{x_1 imes x_2 imes x_3 ... x_n}}$

Where −

    ${n}$ = Total numbers.

    ${x_i}$ = numbers.

Example

Problem Statement:

Determine the geometric mean of following set of numbers.

1392781

Solution:

Step 1: Here n = 5

$ {GM = sqrt[n]{x_1 imes x_2 imes x_3 ... x_n} \[7pt] , = sqrt[5]{1 imes 3 imes 9 imes 27 imes 81} \[7pt] , = sqrt[5]{3^3 imes 3^3 imes 3^4} \[7pt] , = sqrt[5]{3^{10}} \[7pt] , = sqrt[5]{{3^2}^5} \[7pt] , = sqrt[5]{9^5} \[7pt] , = 9 }$

Thus geometric mean of given numbers is $ 9 $.
