Abstract
A combinatorial counting method for weighing a multiplicity of articles by one or a plurality of weighing machines, dividing the resulting plurality of weights by a unit weight to convert the weights into respective numbers, finding combinations of these numbers to compute combined numbers, finding the single combination of which the combined numbers are equal or closest to a set number and of which the combined weight is equal or closest to a set weight, and renewing the set weight every counting operation or whenever predetermined conditions are satisfied to use said set weight when the next counting operation is performed.
