Halfway Between 2 and 487

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 487?" 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=487.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 487, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 487 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 487)/2 = 244.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 487 is 244.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 244.5 and subtract 244.5 from 487 and compare the two numbers:

244.5 - 2 = 242.5
487 - 244.5 = 242.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 242.5 higher than 2 and 242.5 lower than 487. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 244.5 above is correct.
