Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders’ Equity

The reconciliation from basic to diluted earnings per share for both the numerators and denominators is as follows (table in millions):

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2016		March 31, 2015
Numerator:
Net income attributable to EMC Corporation	$	268	$	252
Incremental dilution from VMware	—		(1		)
Net income – dilution attributable to EMC Corporation	$	268	$	251
Denominator:
Weighted average shares, basic	1,949		1,974
Weighted common stock equivalents	16		22
Weighted average shares, diluted	1,965		1,996

Restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and options to acquire shares of our common stock in the amount of 2 million and 1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because they were anti-dilutive. The incremental dilution from VMware represents the impact of VMware’s dilutive securities on EMC’s consolidated diluted net income per share and is calculated by multiplying the difference between VMware’s basic and diluted earnings per share by the number of VMware shares owned by EMC.

Repurchase of Common Stock

We utilize both authorized and unissued shares (including repurchased shares) for all issuances under our equity plans. Our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of 250 million shares of our common stock in December 2014. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we did not repurchase any shares of our common stock. Of the 250 million shares authorized for repurchase, we have repurchased 27 million shares to-date at a total cost of $715 million, leaving a remaining balance of 223 million shares authorized for future repurchases. 

During April 2016, VMware’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $1.2 billion of VMware’s Class A common stock through the end of 2016, which includes the amount remaining from VMware’s previous stock repurchase authorization announced on January 27, 2015, which was $835 million as of March 31, 2016. All shares repurchased under VMware’s stock repurchase programs are retired. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, VMware did not repurchase any shares of its Class A common stock as it is currently subject to a number of legal and regulatory constraints resulting from the Merger Agreement which impacts the timing and ability to execute repurchases of VMware’s shares.

Cash Dividend on Common Stock

EMC pays a quarterly dividend of $0.115 per share of common stock to EMC shareholders, subject to the approval of our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors declared the following dividends during 2016 and 2015:
