Abstract: In this study, the researchers used the K-means Algorithm to see and examine the effect of variations in centroid values on the number of iterations. The results of this study were: Different number of centroid results in different number of iterations. The large number of centroid values did not always cause the number of iterations to increase. Testing with the number of centroid values 3, 8, 10 has a smaller number of iterations, namely the 3 iteration with the level of similarity of the previous data, compared with the number of centroid values 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Testing with the number of centroid 2 values had a greater number of iterations, reaching the 9th iteration to reach the previous level of data similarity.
