To calculate the geometric mean, we take their product instead: 1 x 5 x 10 x 13 x 30 = 19,500 and then calculate the 5-th root of 19,500 = 7.21. This is equivalent to raising 19,500 to the 1/5-th power. Another way to calculate the geometric mean is with logarithms, as it is also the average of logarithmic values converted back to base 10.
