Halfway Between 1 and 998

When you ask "What number is halfway between 1 and 998?" 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=998.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 1 and 998, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 1 and 998 into our formula, we get:

(1 + 998)/2 = 499.5

Thus, the number halfway between 1 and 998 is 499.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 1 from 499.5 and subtract 499.5 from 998 and compare the two numbers:

499.5 - 1 = 498.5
998 - 499.5 = 498.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 498.5 higher than 1 and 498.5 lower than 998. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 499.5 above is correct.
