Halfway Between 16 and 494

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 494?" 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=494.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 494, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 494 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 494)/2 = 255

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 494 is 255.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 255 and subtract 255 from 494 and compare the two numbers:

255 - 16 = 239
494 - 255 = 239

As you can see, the halfway number is 239 higher than 16 and 239 lower than 494. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 255 above is correct.
