Halfway Between 17 and 500

When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 500?" 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=500.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 17 and 500, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 17 and 500 into our formula, we get:

(17 + 500)/2 = 258.5

Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 500 is 258.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 258.5 and subtract 258.5 from 500 and compare the two numbers:

258.5 - 17 = 241.5
500 - 258.5 = 241.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 241.5 higher than 17 and 241.5 lower than 500. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 258.5 above is correct.
