Halfway Between 12 and 486

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 486?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=12 and Y=486.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 486, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 486 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 486)/2 = 249

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 486 is 249.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 249 and subtract 249 from 486 and compare the two numbers:

249 - 12 = 237
486 - 249 = 237

As you can see, the halfway number is 237 higher than 12 and 237 lower than 486. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 249 above is correct.
