When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 796?" 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=796.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 796, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 796 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 796)/2 = 406.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 796 is 406.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 406.5 and subtract 406.5 from 796 and compare the two numbers:
406.5 - 17 = 389.5
796 - 406.5 = 389.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 389.5 higher than 17 and 389.5 lower than 796. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 406.5 above is correct.
