Halfway Between 1 and 196

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 196?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=1 and Y=196.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 196, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 196 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 196)/2 = 98.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 196 is 98.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 98.5 and subtract 98.5 from 196 and compare the two numbers:

98.5 - 1 = 97.5
196 - 98.5 = 97.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 97.5 higher than 1 and 97.5 lower than 196. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 98.5 above is correct.
