Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Earnings Per Share of Common Stock | EARNINGS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK Set forth below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods indicated:
| 2016 | 2015 | 2014
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |
Income from continuing operations after income taxes attributable to DuPont | $ | 2,509 |  | $ | 1,889 |  | $ | 3,135 |
Preferred dividends | (10 | ) | (10 | ) | (10 | )

Net income available to common stockholders | $ | 2,503 |  | $ | 1,943 |  | $ | 3,615 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – Basic | 872,560,000 |  | 893,992,000 |  | 914,752,000 |
Dilutive effect of the company's equity compensation plans | 4,476,000 |  | 5,535,000 |  | 7,121,000 |
Weighted-average number of common shares outstanding – Diluted | 877,036,000 |  | 899,527,000 |  | 921,873,000 |
The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding in 2016 and 2015 decreased as a result of the company's repurchase and retirement of its common stock, partially offset by the issuance of new shares from the company's equity compensation plans(see Notes 16 and 18, respectively). The following average number of stock options are antidilutive and therefore, are not included in the diluted earnings per share calculation:
| 2016 | 2015 | 2014
Average number of stock options | 4,794,000 |  | 4,715,000 |  | 3,000 |
The change in the average number of stock options that were antidilutive in 2016 and 2015 was due to changes in the company's average stock price.
