Halfway Between 17 and 985

When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 985?" 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=985.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 17 and 985, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 17 and 985 into our formula, we get:

(17 + 985)/2 = 501

Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 985 is 501.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 501 and subtract 501 from 985 and compare the two numbers:

501 - 17 = 484
985 - 501 = 484

As you can see, the halfway number is 484 higher than 17 and 484 lower than 985. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 501 above is correct.
