Halfway Between 16 and 256

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 256?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=16 and Y=256.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 256, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 256 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 256)/2 = 136

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 256 is 136.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 136 and subtract 136 from 256 and compare the two numbers:

136 - 16 = 120
256 - 136 = 120

As you can see, the halfway number is 120 higher than 16 and 120 lower than 256. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 136 above is correct.
