Calculation path

The six reciprocals are summed and the number of values is divided by that total.

Calculation path

Harmonic mean = number of values / sum of each reciprocal.

What you provide

Value 1: The 1st equally weighted value in the data set.
Value 2: The 2nd equally weighted value in the data set.
Value 3: The 3rd equally weighted value in the data set.
Value 4: The 4th equally weighted value in the data set.
Value 5: The 5th equally weighted value in the data set.
Value 6: The 6th equally weighted value in the data set.

Harmonic mean is appropriate only when the quantities and weighting context support reciprocal averaging; all entries must be positive.
