The mode is simply the number which appears most often.
To find the mode or modal value requires you to put the numbers you are given in order.
Look at these numbers:
3, 7, 5, 13, 20, 23, 39, 23, 40, 23, 14, 12, 56, 23, 29
In order these numbers are:
3, 5, 7, 12, 13, 14, 20, 23, 23, 23, 23, 29, 39, 40, 56
This makes it easy to see which numbers appear the most.
In this case the mode or modal value is 23.
