Worked example
Find the mitotic index when Cells dividing = 18, Total cells counted = 150.
Using MI = (cells dividing)/(total cells) × 100\%: Mitotic index = 12 %.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Mitotic index?
MI = (cells dividing)/(total cells) × 100\%.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Mitotic index in %, Cells dividing, Total cells counted.
How do you calculate mitotic index?
Put the values into MI = (cells dividing)/(total cells) × 100\%. For example, with Cells dividing = 18, Total cells counted = 150, mitotic index = 12 %.
Can I solve for a different value?
