Halfway Between 2 and 16

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 16?" we assume you mean the number in the exact middle of the two numbers on a number line, as illustrated below, where X=2 and Y=16.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 16, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 16 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 16)/2 = 9

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 16 is 9.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 9 and subtract 9 from 16 and compare the two numbers:

9 - 2 = 7
16 - 9 = 7

As you can see, the halfway number is 7 higher than 2 and 7 lower than 16. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 9 above is correct.
