Abstract
In this paper, starting with the work of Kolmogorov on continuous means, we define the four properties, Symmetry, Internality, Monotonicity, and Associativity that a discrete mean should satisfy. An extremal mean is then a (discrete) mean whose output depends only on the maximum and minimum of the input set. We prove that any integer mean must be extremal.
