When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 261?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=17 and Y=261.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 261, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 261 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 261)/2 = 139
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 261 is 139.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 139 and subtract 139 from 261 and compare the two numbers:
139 - 17 = 122
261 - 139 = 122
As you can see, the halfway number is 122 higher than 17 and 122 lower than 261. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 139 above is correct.
