When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 996?" 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=996.
To find the number halfway between 1 and 996, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 1 and 996 into our formula, we get:
(1 + 996)/2 = 498.5
Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 996 is 498.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 498.5 and subtract 498.5 from 996 and compare the two numbers:
498.5 - 1 = 497.5
996 - 498.5 = 497.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 497.5 higher than 1 and 497.5 lower than 996. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 498.5 above is correct.
