∙ 16y ago
The number is obtained by dividing a financial year into sub-periods based on the number of times the number of outstanding shares changes during the year. If it has changed five times, there will be 5 sub-periods. After that, you have to multiply the corresponding fraction of the fiscal year by the number of shares outstanding in that portion of the year. The sum of all the subtotals is a weighted average of outstanding shares. See the link below for an example
