Halfway Between 2 and 172

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 172?" 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=172.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 172, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 172 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 172)/2 = 87

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 172 is 87.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 87 and subtract 87 from 172 and compare the two numbers:

87 - 2 = 85
172 - 87 = 85

As you can see, the halfway number is 85 higher than 2 and 85 lower than 172. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 87 above is correct.
