Halfway Between 12 and 500

When you ask "What number is halfway between 12 and 500?" 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=500.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 12 and 500, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 12 and 500 into our formula, we get:

(12 + 500)/2 = 256

Thus, the number halfway between 12 and 500 is 256.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 12 from 256 and subtract 256 from 500 and compare the two numbers:

256 - 12 = 244
500 - 256 = 244

As you can see, the halfway number is 244 higher than 12 and 244 lower than 500. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 256 above is correct.
