Find the smallest and largest values in a dataset and see the range and sorted list.
Last updated: June 2026 | By Patchworkr Team
The minimum is the smallest number in a dataset and the maximum is the largest. Together they describe the range and form the endpoints of the dataset.
For 42, 17, 83, 9, 56, 31, 74, 2, 65, 48, 23, 91, 5, 68, the minimum is 2 and the maximum is 91.
Do the values have to be sorted?
No. The calculator can find the minimum and maximum regardless of order.
Can I enter decimals?
Yes. Any finite real values are accepted.
What if the list has one number?
That one number is both the minimum and the maximum.
What if the input is blank?
Blank input is rejected instead of being interpreted as zero.
