Halfway Between 10 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 10 and 42?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=10 and Y=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 10 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 10 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(10 + 42)/2 = 26

Thus, the number halfway between 10 and 42 is 26.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 10 from 26 and subtract 26 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

26 - 10 = 16
42 - 26 = 16

As you can see, the halfway number is 16 higher than 10 and 16 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 26 above is correct.
