13. Earnings Per Share

The following is a reconciliation of weighted average shares for the basic and diluted shares computations (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2017		2016
Weighted average shares outstanding for basic net earnings per share		201.1		200.1
Effect of dilutive stock options and other equity awards		2.0		2.1

Weighted average shares outstanding for diluted net earnings per share		203.1		202.2

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, an average of 0.5 million and 1.1 million options, respectively, to purchase shares of common stock were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise prices of these options were greater than the average market price of our common stock.
