Halfway Between 1 and 500

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 500?" 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=500.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 500, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 500 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 500)/2 = 250.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 500 is 250.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 250.5 and subtract 250.5 from 500 and compare the two numbers:

250.5 - 1 = 249.5
500 - 250.5 = 249.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 249.5 higher than 1 and 249.5 lower than 500. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 250.5 above is correct.
