Enter the sum of all nodes’ degree and the total number of nodes into the Average Degree of a Graph Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Average Degree of a Graph. 

Average Degree of a Graph Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Average Degree of a Graph.

ADG = SN / #N

Variables:

  • ADG is the Average Degree of a Graph (degree/node)
  • SN is the sum of all nodes’ degree 
  • #N is the total number of nodes 

How to Calculate Average Degree of a Graph?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Average Degree of a Graph.


  1. First, determine the sum of all nodes’ degree. 
  2. Next, determine the total number of nodes. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = ADG = SN / #N.
  4. Finally, calculate the Average Degree of a Graph.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

sum of all nodes’ degree = 300

total number of nodes = 10

ADG = SN / #N = ?
