The frequency distribution of the asteroidal mean motions shows the well known Kirkwood gaps which are found near the commensurabilities 3/1, 5/2, 7/3, and 2/1. The number of asteroids in the gaps is significantly smaller than those in the corresponding regions around these commensurabilities. In the outer part of the asteroidal belt, the frequency distribution is reversed: The number of asteroids at the commensurabilities 3/2, 4/3, and 1/1 is much larger than in the region around these commensurabilities.
