Abstract: A combination weighing apparatus (1) according to an embodiment includes: a dispersion table (10) that receives and conveys an article that has been supplied from an outside; a driving unit (20) that applies conveyance force to the dispersion table (10), the conveyance force causing the article to be conveyed; a plurality of conveyors (11) that receives the article from the dispersion table (10), and conveys the article toward a downstream side; a plurality of hoppers (13) that temporarily receives a plurality of the articles that has been discharged from the plurality of conveyors (11), and discharges the plurality of the articles to the downstream side; an obtaining unit (30) that obtains a weight value of the article that is retained in each of the plurality of hoppers (13); and a controller (31) that performs combination calculation on a basis of the weight value that has been obtained by the obtaining unit (30). On a surface on which the article is conveyed in the dispersion table (10), a plurality of inclined faces (10S) is disposed, the plurality of inclined faces (10S) rising along a circumferential direction (D2) or a radiation direction (D1).
