2.

You take a weighted average of all existing isotopes of an element and combine them together along with the actual atomic mass.

Nicholas Higgins · Answer 2

The factor in determining the average atomic mass of an element is:

B or 2 relative abundance of each isotope because the by looking at how many protons, electrons and neutrons the most isotope is of the element has relative abundance.
