When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 972?" 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=972.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 972, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 972 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 972)/2 = 494.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 972 is 494.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 494.5 and subtract 494.5 from 972 and compare the two numbers:
494.5 - 17 = 477.5
972 - 494.5 = 477.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 477.5 higher than 17 and 477.5 lower than 972. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 494.5 above is correct.
