Calculating relative atomic mass of an element

For my current chemistry assignment, I have been asked to write an academic research report and in this I need to use data from research about the mass of isotopes of some elements to show how to calculate relative atomic mass of the elements. I have tried so many times to calculate Ar from an element's isotopic abundance percentages and mass of isotopes but I cannot get the same number that is on the periodic table!! One example I tried was silver, so I did: (107 x 51.839) + (109 x 48.161) then divided this by 100 to get 107.96322, but on the periodic table Ar of Ag is 107.87. There is no way to even round my answer to this so I am very confused - am I doing something wrong? It's the same with fluorine - I calculated 19 as the Ar but it is 18.998 on the periodic table however every website I have used only gives me the one isotope of F. I have also tried Kr but had the same issue.
*My course is entirely online so my only knowledge on this topic is what I have had to teach myself using google and youtube*

for questions like these you should masses of isotopes to 4 d.p. for high accuracy. so e.g. the isotopic masses of Ag are 106.9051 and 108.9048 (you can search these values online, Atomic Weights and Isotopic Compositions for Silver). if you do that, you should be able to get 107.868. hope that helps!

So give me the relative atomic mass of oxygen
