When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 861?" 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=861.
To find the number halfway between 16 and 861, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 16 and 861 into our formula, we get:
(16 + 861)/2 = 438.5
Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 861 is 438.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 438.5 and subtract 438.5 from 861 and compare the two numbers:
438.5 - 16 = 422.5
861 - 438.5 = 422.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 422.5 higher than 16 and 422.5 lower than 861. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 438.5 above is correct.
