17. Earnings Per Share

The weighted-average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	Fiscal
	2016		2015		2014
	(in millions)
Basic		366		405		410
Dilutive impact of share-based compensation arrangements		3		6		7

Diluted		369		411		417

There were three million and one million share options that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, because the instruments' underlying exercise prices were greater than the average market prices of our common shares and inclusion would be antidilutive.
