Halfway Between 2 and 256

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 256?" 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=256.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 256, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 256 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 256)/2 = 129

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 256 is 129.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 129 and subtract 129 from 256 and compare the two numbers:

129 - 2 = 127
256 - 129 = 127

As you can see, the halfway number is 127 higher than 2 and 127 lower than 256. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 129 above is correct.
