[SOLVED] Average in Binary Number System?

[zia.newversion]

Is there a simpler algorithm of calculating average in binary number system?
Other than adding all values up and dividing by number of values...
There must be such an algorithm. That must be how computers calculate averages...

No, the above algorythm is the only one method : - )
However, if we have 2 ^ n numbers (values)​​, then the fast 'shift right' instruction
can be used, instead of a dividing.
For example in case of 4 (2 ^ 2) values:
sum = v1 + v2 + v3 + v4 ; 4 numbers to add
Average = sum >> 2 ; sum/4

Well that's sad... Now I'll have to invent an algorithm.
Thanks.
