Halfway Between 12 and 497

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 497?" 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=497.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 497, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 497 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 497)/2 = 254.5

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 497 is 254.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 254.5 and subtract 254.5 from 497 and compare the two numbers:

254.5 - 12 = 242.5
497 - 254.5 = 242.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 242.5 higher than 12 and 242.5 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 254.5 above is correct.
