Halfway Between 2 and 491

When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 491?" 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=491.

Halfway Between Line

To find the number halfway between 2 and 491, we use the following formula:

(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between

When we enter 2 and 491 into our formula, we get:

(2 + 491)/2 = 246.5

Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 491 is 246.5.

To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 246.5 and subtract 246.5 from 491 and compare the two numbers:

246.5 - 2 = 244.5
491 - 246.5 = 244.5

As you can see, the halfway number is 244.5 higher than 2 and 244.5 lower than 491. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 246.5 above is correct.
