Halfway Between 2 and 42

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 42?" 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=42.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 42, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 42 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 42)/2 = 22

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 42 is 22.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 22 and subtract 22 from 42 and compare the two numbers:

22 - 2 = 20
42 - 22 = 20

As you can see, the halfway number is 20 higher than 2 and 20 lower than 42. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 22 above is correct.
