When you ask "What number is halfway between 2 and 542?" 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=542.
To find the number halfway between 2 and 542, we use the following formula:
(X + Y)/2 = Halfway Between
When we enter 2 and 542 into our formula, we get:
(2 + 542)/2 = 272
Thus, the number halfway between 2 and 542 is 272.
To check that our answer is correct, we subtract 2 from 272 and subtract 272 from 542 and compare the two numbers:
272 - 2 = 270
542 - 272 = 270
As you can see, the halfway number is 270 higher than 2 and 270 lower than 542. Therefore, our halfway between answer of 272 above is correct.
