Abstract
Several algorithms are applied in the literature of clustering such as K-means, Fuzzy C-Means, and Single Linkage, etc. K-means Algorithm is the most commonly used because of its simplicity. How ever, the best number of clusters in K-means possesses a weakness. This study was carried out in determining cluster numbers by using Elbow Method. Meanwhile, Silhouette Technique was applied for the testing methods in order to measure the quality of the clusters. The results obtained were in the form of two clusters.
