Halfway Between 17 and 540

When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 540?" 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=540.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 17 and 540, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 17 and 540 into our formula, we get:

(17 + 540)/2 = 278.5

Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 540 is 278.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 278.5 and subtract 278.5 from 540 and compare the two numbers:

278.5 - 17 = 261.5
540 - 278.5 = 261.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 261.5 higher than 17 and 261.5 lower than 540. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 278.5 above is correct.
