Quantum mechanical calculations of the ground states of droplets of N atoms of /sup 4/He are reported. The calculations have been made by the variational Monte Carlo Method for 4< or =N< or =728 and by the Green's function Monte Carlo method for 3< or =N< or =112. The energies, rms radii, and density distributions are reported; liquid-drop fits to the energies and radii are discussed.
