Halfway Between 16 and 540

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 540?" 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=540.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 540, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 540 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 540)/2 = 278

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 540 is 278.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 278 and subtract 278 from 540 and compare the two numbers:

278 - 16 = 262
540 - 278 = 262

As you can see, the halfway number is 262 higher than 16 and 262 lower than 540. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 278 above is correct.
