Halfway Between 17 and 98

When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 98?" 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=98.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 17 and 98, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 17 and 98 into our formula, we get:

(17 + 98)/2 = 57.5

Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 98 is 57.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 57.5 and subtract 57.5 from 98 and compare the two numbers:

57.5 - 17 = 40.5
98 - 57.5 = 40.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 40.5 higher than 17 and 40.5 lower than 98. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 57.5 above is correct.
