Halfway Between 16 and 499

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 499?" 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=499.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 499, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 499 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 499)/2 = 257.5

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 499 is 257.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 257.5 and subtract 257.5 from 499 and compare the two numbers:

257.5 - 16 = 241.5
499 - 257.5 = 241.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 241.5 higher than 16 and 241.5 lower than 499. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 257.5 above is correct.
