Halfway Between 17 and 497

When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 497?" 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=497.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 17 and 497, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 17 and 497 into our formula, we get:

(17 + 497)/2 = 257

Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 497 is 257.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 257 and subtract 257 from 497 and compare the two numbers:

257 - 17 = 240
497 - 257 = 240

As you can see, the halfway number is 240 higher than 17 and 240 lower than 497. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 257 above is correct.
