The masses of the seven largest asteroids: (1) Ceres, (2) Pallas, (4) Vesta, (10) Hygiea, (52) Europa, (511) Davida and (704) Interamnia were determined from gravitational perturbations exerted on selected asteroids. These masses were calculated by means of the modified method. The procedure of the mass determination is based on calculation of perturbed orbit using observations which cover pre or post encounter part of the orbit. Then the pre and post encounter parts of perturbed orbit has been linked by some chosen value for the mass of a perturbing body. The procedure is an iterative one. The resulting mass of the perturbing asteroid is obtained as one which provides the minimum O-C residuals in the RMS sense.
