The first quartile (Q1) is defined as the middle number between the smallest number (minimum) and the median of the data set. It is also known as the lower or 25th empirical quartile, as 25% of the data is below this point.
How do you find the 1st quartile?
The quartile formula helps in calculating the value that divides a list of numbers into quarters.

Quartile Formula
- First Quartile(Q1) = ((n + 1)/4)th Term.
- Second Quartile(Q2) = ((n + 1)/2)th Term.
- Third Quartile(Q3) = (3(n + 1)/4)th Term.
How do you find Q1 and Q3?
The formula for quartiles is given by:
- Lower Quartile (Q1) = (N+1) * 1 / 4.
- Middle Quartile (Q2) = (N+1) * 2 / 4.
- Upper Quartile (Q3 )= (N+1) * 3 / 4.
- Interquartile Range = Q3 – Q1.
