Halfway Between 1 and 26

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 26?" 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=26.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 26, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 26 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 26)/2 = 13.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 26 is 13.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 13.5 and subtract 13.5 from 26 and compare the two numbers:

13.5 - 1 = 12.5
26 - 13.5 = 12.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 12.5 higher than 1 and 12.5 lower than 26. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 13.5 above is correct.
