Halfway Between 2 and 279

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 279?" 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=279.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 279, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 279 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 279)/2 = 140.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 279 is 140.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 140.5 and subtract 140.5 from 279 and compare the two numbers:

140.5 - 2 = 138.5
279 - 140.5 = 138.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 138.5 higher than 2 and 138.5 lower than 279. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 140.5 above is correct.
