Halfway Between 1 and 491

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 491?" 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=491.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 491, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 491 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 491)/2 = 246

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 491 is 246.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 246 and subtract 246 from 491 and compare the two numbers:

246 - 1 = 245
491 - 246 = 245

As you can see, the halfway number is 245 higher than 1 and 245 lower than 491. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 246 above is correct.
