Halfway Between 16 and 490

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 490?" 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=490.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 490, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 490 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 490)/2 = 253

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 490 is 253.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 253 and subtract 253 from 490 and compare the two numbers:

253 - 16 = 237
490 - 253 = 237

As you can see, the halfway number is 237 higher than 16 and 237 lower than 490. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 253 above is correct.
