It is easier to weigh a number of sheets, say 16, 160, 1600, etc and then divide by the number of sheets as opposed to weighing a single sheet. The more sheets that are weighed together, the greater the accuracy the weight of one sheet can be calculated

An easier method to find the weight of a sheet of A4 paper is to find out the density of the paper (in grams per square metre, or gsm) and divide this by 16 (as 16 sheets of A4 exactly make 1 sq m). This is very easy as the manufacturers of paper usually specify the density of the paper. Normal weight is 70 gsm (giving 4 3/8 = 4.375 g per sheet), though lighter 60 gsm (3 3/4 = 3.75 g per sheet) and heavier 90 gsm (giving 5 5/8 = 5.625 g per sheet) are available.
