Halfway Between 16 and 988

When you ask "What number is halfway between 16 and 988?" 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=988.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 16 and 988, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 16 and 988 into our formula, we get:

(16 + 988)/2 = 502

Thus, the number halfway between 16 and 988 is 502.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 16 from 502 and subtract 502 from 988 and compare the two numbers:

502 - 16 = 486
988 - 502 = 486

As you can see, the halfway number is 486 higher than 16 and 486 lower than 988. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 502 above is correct.
