When you ask "What number is halfway between 17 and 986?" 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=986.
To find the number halfway between 17 and 986, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 17 and 986 into our formula, we get:
(17 + 986)/2 = 501.5
Thus, the number halfway between 17 and 986 is 501.5.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 17 from 501.5 and subtract 501.5 from 986 and compare the two numbers:
501.5 - 17 = 484.5
986 - 501.5 = 484.5
As you can see, the halfway number is 484.5 higher than 17 and 484.5 lower than 986. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 501.5 above is correct.
