| | Invest FAQ:Stocks:The Dow Jones Industrial Average |
 | | The divisor for the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) is adjusted periodically to reflect splits in the stocks making up the average. |
| | The Dow Jones averages are computed by summing the prices of the stocks in the average and then dividing by a constant called the "divisor". |
| | The divisor was originally 30 but has been reduced over the years to a value far less than one. |
