Abstract
A combination weighing system for weighing batches of articles and selecting a combination of batches satisfying a condition predetermined for both total weight and number of articles. In the system, the measured weight of each batch is divided by a reference unit weight of the articles and converted into the number of articles which is then rounded into an integral number. This integral number is multiplied by the reference unit weight and restored to the weight of articles. Then, both weights or numbers appearing before and after the rounding operation are mutually weighted and averaged and the resultant weighted averages are subjected to a conventional combination selecting operation.
